          Week 5 in the NFL saw its fair share of double-digit victories and major comebacks, prompting clever trolls.

          The New Orleans Saints earned their first victory of the season beating the New York Giants 26-14. The Saints faced a 14-3 deficit with 13:01 remaining in the second quarter. However, they held the Giants scoreless the rest of the way and forced five turnovers -- one of which resulted in an 86-yard touchdown return.

          New Orleans quarterback Spencer Rattler threw for 225 yards and a score. In his second career NFL start, New York quarterback Jaxson Dart threw for 202 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions.

          Dart was the focus of the Saints' troll, who captioned their post: "DARTED TO THE W."

          Here are the other top trolls of Week 5.

          Dallas Cowboys 37, New York Jets 22

          Coming off a Week 4 tie against the Green Bay Packers, the Dallas Cowboys found the going comfortable against the New York Jets and got the win.

          Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott threw for 237 yards and four touchdowns, while running back Javonte Williams ran for 135 yards and accounted for two scores. Jets signal-caller Justin Fields had 283 passing yards and two touchdowns himself.

          Dallas' victory came with a simple post, referencing the "J-E-T-S" chant. Instead, the Cowboys spelled out: "B-O-Y-S."

          Denver Broncos 21, Philadelphia Eagles 17

          The Denver Broncos put up 18 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to snag a win against the Philadelphia Eagles.

          Philadelphia seemed to be in cruise control with a 17-3 lead going into the final frame. Denver responded by forcing two three-and-outs and scoring two touchdowns to take a one-point lead. The Broncos then nailed a field goal with 1:11 left and contained the Eagles' offense to secure the win.

          Denver referenced a viral video from September where a dispute occurred over a home run ball that was delivered it to a young Philadelphia Phillies fan. In this case, the Broncos were the ones snatching a "W" for themselves.

          Carolina Panthers 27, Miami Dolphins 24

          Speaking of comebacks -- the Carolina Panthers stormed back to defeat the Miami Dolphins on the road.

          Carolina faced a 17-0 deficit with 10:48 remaining in the second quarter, but outscored Miami 27-7 the rest of the way. Being down 17-0 tied the Panthers' largest deficit ever overcome to win a game, according to ESPN Research.

          The victory came with a simple troll as Carolina posted a knocked-over fishbowl.

          Washington Commanders 27, Los Angeles Chargers 10

          The Washington Commanders pitched a shutout after the first quarter against the Los Angeles Chargers to secure the win.

          Washington fell behind 10-0 in the first quarter but responded by scoring 27 unanswered points against Los Angeles. In his first game back from a knee injury, Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels threw for 231 yards and a touchdown, while rookie running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt rushed for 111 yards and two scores.

          Washington posted an edited scene from the mid-2000s movie "The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl." In this case, Lavagirl (the Commanders) freezes Mr. Electric (the Chargers) with an "L."

          Detroit Lions 37, Cincinnati Bengals 24

          The Detroit Lions took care of business against the Cincinnati Bengals for their fourth straight victory.

          Detroit held a 28-3 lead at the end of the third quarter after running back David Montgomery ran for a touchdown. Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs also had a score -- the 14th time Gibbs and Montgomery have scored a touchdown in the same game, according to ESPN Research. That ties former Cowboys running backs Emmitt Smith and Daryl Johnston for the most by any running back teammates since the Super Bowl era began in 1966.

          With Sunday's game being the Bengals' "Stripe the Jungle" matchup, the Lions claimed that they are the kings of the jungle in their postgame troll.

          San Francisco 49ers 26, Los Angeles Rams 23

          An NFC West matchup on "Thursday Night Football" needed an extra period to decide its winner. The San Francisco 49ers held on to defeat the Los Angeles Rams on the road in a wild game.

          Down by three with 42 seconds left in regulation, the Rams drove down the field and set up a 48-yard kick from Joshua Karty to force overtime. The 49ers started with the ball in the extra period, then kicked a field goal themselves. Los Angeles was stopped on 4th-and-1 at the San Francisco 11-yard line, clinching the 49ers' win.

          San Francisco put its own spin on Los Angeles' "Whose house?" rally cry at SoFi Stadium for a postgame troll.
