Buccaneers troll Falcons with 28-3 tweet
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers couldn't resist taking a shot at their division rival Atlanta Falcons for the latter's historic Super Bowl collapse.
It started with this seemingly innocuous tweet about fidget spinners:
These are going FAST! Check out the official #Buccaneers Fidget Spinner at our online store!

The Falcons responded with some mild trash talk:

This prompted the Buccaneers to drop a hammer. A subtle hammer, but a hammer nonetheless.

Don't get it? Look at the jersey numbers. The Falcons blew a 28-3 lead in the Super Bowl.
The Carolina Panthers, another team in the NFC South, similarly trolled the Falcons earlier this year, but later deleted the tweet.
