Carolina Panthers vs. Philadelphia Eagles: Game Highlights (1:12)

As the cooler weather starts to settle in, trolls from respective teams are also adjusting their team jabs accordingly with a cold tone.

With Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts on the injured reserve list and running back Saquon Barkley among inactive players, the Eagles' struggles continued Sunday with a loss to Bryce Young and the Carolina Panthers. Young threw for 281 passing yards and two touchdowns in a 25-14 win.

Carolina went after the Eagles with two Philadelphia-themed trolls: the final game graphic with the caption "No dreams, just nightmares" (an inverse of Philadelphia native rapper Meek Mill's "Dreams and Nightmares") and a post with Young as the iconic Rocky Balboa statue with the message "Yo Adrian, we did it!"

Just because the clock strikes zero doesn't mean that's the last teams will hear from their opponents.

Here are more of the best trolls from Week 6 in the NFL.

Baltimore Ravens 10, Cleveland Browns 13

Cleveland collected a big win over its AFC North rival, as quarterback Deshaun Watson led a crucial fourth quarter drive to set up a 33-yard field goal for Andre Szmyt for the win. After the win, the Browns took aim at the Ravens and one of Maryland's signature offerings: crabs.

Pittsburgh Steelers 26, Tampa Bay Buccaneers 19

Aaron Rodgers threw for 253 passing yards, including two late touchdowns, to help the Steelers rally from a 13-point deficit and force overtime. Steelers wide receiver Germie Bernard caught Rodgers' winning touchdown pass to seal the road victory in overtime.

And Pittsburgh's social media team had a couple of trolls up its sleeve to rub the win in Tampa Bay's face.

It first posted a video featuring two alligators dancing on a golf course with two Steelers emblems plastered on them, while a patron in a golf cart watched in disbelief from a distance, a Buccaneers logo on his shirt. The trollers followed up with a snippet from "SpongeBob SquarePants" where a ghost captain asked Patrick to move a pirate ship "behind the rocks." After the ship moved, the bottom was damaged and nearly destroyed. Pittsburgh captioned the post "Don't worry captain..."

Houston Texans 34, Jacksonville Jaguars 31

Advancing to a two-game win streak, the Houston Texans almost saw their Week 6 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars -- played in London -- go into overtime. However, thanks to a 49-yard field goal by placekicker Ka'imi Fairbairn as time expired, Houston went on to win 34-31. Following the Texans' win, the team unleashed a handful of trolls, beginning with a bubbled "W" in a cup of tea with a Union Jack-styled Texans logo on the tea bag's tag.

Houston continued with a remake of the "Black Clover" and "Assassin's Creed III" posters, adding a spin of Texans branding.
