Exhibition games are largely used to help NFL teams evaluate their rosters and get starters a few reps before the regular season gets underway in September.

The Arizona Cardinals appeared to take their preseason win slightly more seriously and decided to celebrate by slamming Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson. Shortly after a 18-17 win, the Cardinals verified account on X, the company formerly known as Twitter, posted a video mocking Wilson.

The now-deleted post featured the viral video of a woman on a plane with the Cardinals logo superimposed on her shirt and saying a passenger was "not real." The video then cut to a meme of Wilson that portrayed him working out during a flight.
