          Divisional matchups across the NFL in Week 11 prompted petty posts. But, a non-divisional one led the way.

          The Indianapolis Colts came back to defeat the New York Jets 28-27 at MetLife Stadium. The Colts were down 27-22 with 2:41 remaining in the game. Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson capped off a 6-play, 70-yard drive with a four-yard touchdown rush.

          The Jets had a final chance with 46 seconds left, but turned it over on downs, giving them their second loss in a row. In his first start since Oct. 27, Richardson accounted for 304 yards and three total touchdowns. Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers had 184 passing yards and two scores.

          Indianapolis' win came with multiple New York-themed trolls, including lyrics from Frank Sinatra's "New York, New York."

          Here are the top trolls from Week 11.

          Pittsburgh Steelers 18, Baltimore Ravens 16

          AFC North games rarely disappoint and the latest installment between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens is a prime example why.

          The Steelers held an eight-point lead with 3:35 remaining and the Ravens answered with a nine-play, 69-yard drive for a touchdown. Baltimore elected to go for two, but failed its attempt with 1:06 left in the game. Pittsburgh then ran the clock out for its fifth straight win.

          If the win on the field wasn't enough, the Steelers made sure to throw virtual jabs -- including a spin on a "SpongeBob SquarePants" scene with a sad violin.

          Minnesota Vikings 23, Tennessee Titans 13

          The Minnesota Vikings took care of business on the road against the Tennessee Titans.

          Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold threw for 246 yards and two touchdowns, while Titans quarterback Will Levis had 295 passing yards plus a touchdown and interception each. Minnesota's star receiver Justin Jefferson had six receptions for 81 yards, increasing his career receiving yards total to 6,811 -- the most by a player in his first 5 seasons in NFL history, per ESPN Research.

          Rather than troll the Titans specifically, the Vikings opted to poke fun at the entire AFC South instead.

          Seattle Seahawks 20, San Francisco 49ers 17

          Every game counts in the hotly contested NFC West and the Seattle Seahawks secured a huge win against the San Francisco 49ers.

          Down 17-13, the Seahawks went on a 11-play, 80-yard drive that ended with quarterback Geno Smith dashing for a rushing touchdown with 12 seconds left in the game. The 49ers fumbled on the ensuing drive on a failed lateral. Smith threw for 221 yards, while San Francisco quarterback Brock Purdy threw for 162 yards with a touchdown and interception each.

          Seattle had a simple troll after the game, referencing San Francisco's "Bang Bang Niner Gang" catchphrase.

          Denver Broncos 38, Atlanta Falcons 6

          The Denver Broncos snapped their two-game losing streak is emphatic fashion, dominating the Atlanta Falcons at home.

          Broncos quarterback Bo Nix threw for a career-high 307 yards and four touchdowns. Denver's defense held Atlanta to just 226 total yards and forced one turnover -- an interception from quarterback Kirk Cousins.

          Similar to the Vikings, the Broncos trolled an entire division. They used an edited video of Brock Lesnar for a jab at the NFC South.

          Philadelphia Eagles 26, Washington Commanders 18

          A key NFC East battle resulted in a Philadelphia Eagles victory on Thursday night.

          The Eagles piled on 20 points in the fourth quarter to come back and hand the Washington Commanders their second straight loss. Eagles running back Saquon Barkley ran for 146 yards -- his sixth-game eclipsing 100 yards this season -- plus two touchdowns. Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts threw for 221 yards and ran for a score himself.

          Philadelphia trolled Washington with a petty caption and a "W" similar to its opponents' logo.
