Pittsburgh's petty jabs, Browns' cheese post top NFL Week 3 trolls - ESPN

Week 3 of the NFL had its fair share of close action, and to the victors went the spoils — and the chance to get creative on social media.

The Pittsburgh Steelers held on to defeat the New England Patriots 21-14 on the road. With the game on the line, New England faced a fourth-and-1 with just over a minute remaining but failed to convert.

Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers threw for 139 yards and two touchdowns, and Patriots signal-caller Drake Maye had 268 passing yards and two scores himself. Rodgers' first touchdown pass gave him 509 for his career, passing Brett Favre for the fourth most in NFL history. Pittsburgh forced five turnovers, including a whopping four fumbles.

The Steelers posted a pair of references to actors with Boston ties, including Mark Wahlberg from the movie «Ted» and an edit with Matt Damon in «Good Will Hunting.» Damon acts as the Steelers showing a «W» to the Patriots in the famous «How do you like them apples?» scene, while Steelers hats were edited on Wahlberg and the film's titular teddy bear. The team also shared a video of a «W» on wheels being parked at Harvard.
