Divisional matchups across the NFL brought out petty posts on social media.



The Tampa Bay Buccaneers dominated the New Orleans Saints. The Indianapolis Colts narrowly beat the Tennessee Titans. And on Thursday, the San Francisco 49ers defeated the Seattle Seahawks on the road.



On Monday night, another divisional meeting prompted a spicy troll -- this time from theBuffalo Bills, who defeated the New York Jetson the road 23-20. Buffalo led 20-10 before New York tied it up in the third quarter. The Bills regained the lead for good in the fourth and sealed the win with a Taron Johnson interception, extending their first-place lead in the AFC East.



Buffalo remixed a famous scene from "The Sopranos" and put its own spin on the subway signs prominent throughout New York City with a post that included a rat in a Josh Allen jersey.



The Bills also took a jab at the Jersey-based Jets' New York bonafides by celebrating wins by the New York Mets and New York Yankees.



Here are the other top trolls for Week 6.
