Week 8 of the 2024 NFL season included memorable finishes paired with petty posts.

The Houston Texans bounced back with a win over the Indianapolis Colts. The Atlanta Falcons held on to defeat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Philadelphia Eagles handled the Cincinnati Bengals on the road.

Here are the top trolls from Week 8.

Houston Texans 23, Indianapolis Colts 20

In their sixth one-possession game of the season, the Texans came out on top after narrowly losing last week.

Down by three with 50 seconds remaining, the Colts regained possession on their own 9-yard line. Anthony Richardson moved the Colts down near midfield, but they fumbled with one second left to end the game.

The Texans' trolled the Colts -- and Richardson specifically -- after the win. They resurfaced a photo from earlier in the week of Richardson doing Houston's hand sign and posted a graphic of a pile of hay shaped into an "L" in a horse stall.


Atlanta Falcons 31, Tampa Bay Buccaneers 26

The Atlanta Falcons' fourth win in five weeks didn't come easy.

Atlanta took a 31-17 lead before the Tampa Bay Buccaneers stormed back to make it a one-possession game late in the fourth quarter. Younghoe Koo then missed a field goal with 1:05 left, giving Tampa Bay another chance. But they failed to score, sealing the Falcons' win.

Atlanta's victory came with multiple trolls, including a nod at the Tampa Bay's "Creamsicle" uniforms. The Falcons put a spin on Atlanta rapper Bankroll Fresh's "Take Over Your Trap" for a virtual jab. They also posted an edited video of rapper DJ Khaled dancing on a boat with a pirate hat on.


Philadelphia Eagles 37, Cincinnati Bengals 17

The Philadelphia Eagles took care of business on the road, scoring 30 unanswered points to secure their third win in a row.

Jalen Hurts accounted for 273 total yards and four touchdowns, including three rushing scores. Saquon Barkley had 108 yards rushing, his fourth game with at least 100 yards this season.

The Eagles had a clever jab aimed at the Bengals after their win.


Buffalo Bills 31, Seattle Seahawks 10

The Buffalo Bills cruised to a win on the road against the Seattle Seahawks.

Buffalo led 31-3 in the fourth quarter behind two rushing touchdowns from James Cook and two passing scores from Josh Allen. The Bills' defense flexed their muscles too -- holding the Seahawks to just 233 total yards.

If the big win wasn't enough, Buffalo made sure to throw multiple virtual jabs at Seattle, including nods to the Space Needle and the Pike Place Fish Market.


Los Angeles Chargers 26, New Orleans Saints 8

What started as an offensive struggle for both teams in the first half continued only for the New Orleans Saints as the game progressed.

Justin Herbert threw for 279 yards and two touchdowns, both caught by Ladd McConkey, who had six receptions for 111 yards. The Saints had a quarterback change in the game from Spencer Rattler to Jake Haener, but neither found the endzone.
