The Atlanta Falcons are beating the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday afternoon, but they went for an extra win on Twitter, destroying the poor Cleveland Browns.

Atlanta is moving to 7-4 with a win against the Cardinals, but that was not enough for the person running the team’s official Twitter account. After wide receiver Taylor Gabriel scored his second touchdown of the afternoon, Atlanta’s social media went for the jugular.

Apparently, the Falcons have a beef with the Browns. The tweet showcases the Wikipedia page of Gabriel, showing where Cleveland released Gabriel right before the beginning of this season. Gabriel has been decent in the second-banana role to Julio Jones, coming into Sunday with 17 catches and 303 yards. Needless to say, the Falcons are getting very chesty over a receiver who is yet to amass 400 receiving yards in an offense that could go for 5,000 passing yards.

It’s easy to make fun of the Browns. They went into Sunday at 0-11 and look like they could end up being winless. Cleveland has taken every joke you can imagine, and the Falcons going after them for a guy who might be a No. 3 or 4 receiver seems low for no reason.

Hopefully the Browns will respond, maybe with the picture of an empty trophy room.
