The Bills were not the only team to embrace the post-game banter during the opening week of the season. In Pittsburgh, the Steelers celebrated their win over the Atlanta Falcons by posting a viral meme featuring a bird exiting a cage, captioned "Feather in our cap." The victory was fueled by a standout defensive display, highlighted by T.J. Watt, who recorded two sacks and a pick-six. Watt’s performance marked the first time a Steelers player achieved at least two sacks and an interception return for a touchdown in the same game since 2010.
Meanwhile, the San Francisco 49ers took their trolling international following a dominant win against the Los Angeles Rams in Australia. After scoring 24 unanswered points to secure the victory, the 49ers posted a photo of a piece of toast topped with Vegemite arranged to form the letter "W." Quarterback Brock Purdy led the effort with 205 passing yards and three touchdowns, connecting with Mike Evans, Deebo Samuel Sr., and Demarcus Robinson.
The Seattle Seahawks also joined the trend after defeating the New England Patriots. Despite losing starting quarterback Sam Darnold to a hip injury early in the contest, backup Drew Lock stepped in to throw for 187 yards and a touchdown. The Seahawks' defense ultimately dictated the outcome, intercepting Patriots quarterback Drake Maye three times in the final quarter to clinch the win and provide the team with another opportunity for a lighthearted jab at their opponents.
