Shedeur Sanders leads Browns to win in first career start (1:20)

Shedeur Sanders leads the Browns to a 24-10 win on the road in his first start with the team. (1:20)

NFL teams remained petty as the calendar nears the holiday week, but one squad took it to another level.

The Cleveland Browns are back in the win column after defeating the Las Vegas Raiders 24-10.

In his first career NFL start, Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders threw for 209 yards along with a touchdown and interception each. Cleveland recorded 10 sacks, the most in a game by any team over the past two seasons. Defensive end Myles Garrett accounted for three sacks himself, pushing him to 18 on the season.

Sanders and Garrett were the theme of the Browns' troll after the game. The team edited their faces in a frame from the 2009 film "The Hangover," which is set in Las Vegas. Cleveland also crossed out the "Sin" in "Sin City" for "Win."

Here are the top NFL trolls from Week 12.

Dallas Cowboys 24, Philadelphia Eagles 21

The Dallas Cowboys stunned the Philadelphia Eagles, storming back for a victory from a Brandon Aubrey field goal as time expired.

Philadelphia went ahead 21-0 with 11:32 remaining in the second quarter before Dallas' defense pitched a shutout the rest of the way. The Cowboys' 21-point comeback is tied for their largest comeback win in franchise history. Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott threw for 354 yards and three touchdowns, while running for a score on the ground.

After its Week 11 win, Philadelphia boasted its defense by editing key players onto a brick wall with the caption: "Who's getting past this?" Dallas resurfaced the post by editing Prescott as the "Kool-Aid Man," who would bust through walls in classic commercials. This time, it was Prescott going through a wall.


Seattle Seahawks 30, Tennessee Titans 24

The Seattle Seahawks bounced back from a Week 11 loss to beat the Tennessee Titans on the road.

Seattle jumped out to a 23-3 lead early in the third quarter after quarterback Sam Darnold connected with wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Smith-Njigba had eight receptions for 167 yards and two touchdowns -- his second career game with 150 receiving yards and two touchdowns.

The Seahawks made sure to poke fun at the Titans multiple times, including their postgame caption that emphasized the "W" in "yeehaWWWW." They also put a spin on a lyric from Tennessee-based rap group Three 6 Mafia, "It's A Tennessee Thing."


New England Patriots 26, Cincinnati Bengals 20

The New England Patriots can't stop winning, notching their ninth straight victory by outlasting the Cincinnati Bengals. It's the Patriots' longest winning streak outside the Bill Belichick and Tom Brady era.

Cincinnati took a 10-0 lead early in the second quarter before New England responded with 17 consecutive points to regain control. Patriots quarterback Drake Maye threw for 294 yards plus a touchdown and interception each.

New England kept its troll simple -- replacing the "C" in "Cincinnati" with a "W."


Los Angeles Rams 34, Tampa Bay Buccaneers 7

Speaking of teams that can't stop winning -- the Los Angeles Rams secured their sixth straight victory after handling the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on "Sunday Night Football."

Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford threw for 273 yards and three scores, two of which were caught by wide receiver Davante Adams -- his 27th career game with multiple receiving touchdowns. Los Angeles allowed just 193 yards and forced two turnovers, both by quarterback Baker Mayfield, who was ruled out in the second half due to a left shoulder injury.

Poking fun at the Buccaneers, the Rams posted a graphic of an open treasure chest with a duck inside it after their win.


Houston Texans 23, Buffalo Bills 19

The Houston Texans are winners of three straight after defeating the Buffalo Bills on "Thursday Night Football."

Houston's defense showed out by forcing three turnovers and sacking Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen eight times, tied for its most sacks in a game in franchise history. Texans quarterback Davis Mills threw for 153 yards and two touchdowns, while Allen had no touchdowns and two interceptions.

The Texans trolled the Bills multiple times, including a spin on the team's "Bills Mafia" fan base moniker and posting a compilation of players eating buffalo wings.
