Winners: The Pittsburgh Steelers

The Steelers were winners all over the field Sunday.

Not only did Pittsburgh top the Cincinnati Bengals to take over first place in the AFC East, Mike Tomlin’s squad provided us with plenty of memes for the ages.

JuJu Smith-Schuster and Le’Veon Bell continued to dominate the touchdown celebration game with their game of hide-and-seek following the former’s 31-yard touchdown reception.

Tomlin’s wink after his team pulled off a fake punt already up by 12 was magical.

And Bell’s stiff arm of Dre Kirkpatrick was downright disrespectful.

Losers: Anyone who suffered through the Tennessee Titans – Cleveland Browns game

Marcus Mariota and the Titans barely eked out a 12-9 overtime win over the hapless Browns, but the real loser was anyone who had to subject their eyes to that terrible display of football that featured a grand total of ZERO offensive touchdowns.

Winner: Fog

Fog dominated the Super Bowl LI rematch between the Atlanta Falcons and New England Patriots.

Unfortunately for the Falcons, just because no one could actually see the game, doesn’t mean it didn’t count.

Loser: Whoever decided that this was going to be Mitchell Trubisky‘s nickname

Nope. Just nope.

Winner: Pettiness

Are these 28-3 jokes kind of getting stale? Yes. Do the Atlanta Falcons deserve to be mocked for all eternity for blowing a 25-point lead in the Super Bowl? Also yes.

If you want the jokes to end, Atlanta, there’s an easy solution: win.
