A festive week didn’t mean the trolls took a break, led by a Christmas-themed jab based off a wild divisional game.
The Washington Commanders stormed back to defeat the Philadelphia Eagles 36-33 on the road.
Philadelphia lost quarterback Jalen Hurts to a first-quarter concussion but held a 27-14 lead going into the fourth quarter. Washington — which had five turnovers in the game — scored 22 points in that final frame, capped by quarterback Jayden Daniels finding receiver Jamison Crowder for a go-ahead score with six seconds remaining.
The Commanders opted to use a clip from the movie “Elf” and emphasized the “L” in Eagles to troll their division rivals.
