Steelers poking fun at Jets tops Week 1 NFL trolls - ESPN
It's just the first week of the NFL season, but teams are in midseason form in their trolling.
The Pittsburgh Steelers hung on to defeat the New York Jets in Aaron Rodgers' return to MetLife Stadium. In a matchup that included seven lead changes, Steelers kicker Chris Boswell secured the win when he nailed a 60-yarder to give them the lead with 1:02 left in the game.
Rodgers threw for 244 yards and four touchdowns in the 34-32 win, while Jets quarterback Justin Fields — who started six games for Pittsburgh last season — accounted for 266 yards and three touchdowns.
The Steelers followed up their win with petty posts such as a reference to a viral advertisement from a British holiday package provider. They also turned off the airplane mode function on an iPhone.

Here's a look at the top trolls from Week 1.
The Bengals earned a Week 1 victory for the first time since 2021 as they defeated the Browns on the road.
Cincinnati went ahead for good in the low-scoring affair after a 35-yard field goal from Evan McPherson in the third quarter. Cleveland had a chance to retake the lead in the fourth, but Andre Szmyt missed a 36-yard kick with 2:25 remaining. Browns quarterback Joe Flacco threw an interception with 1:30 left to seal the Bengals' victory.
With both teams from Ohio, state bragging rights were on the line, and Cincinnati made sure to poke fun at Cleveland.
