EA Sports revealed their team and top player ratings for the upcoming Madden NFL 17 video game via their Twitter account on Thursday. While sending out tweets with pictures asking for fan opinions and tagging teams, the account accidentally tagged the Indianapolis Colts in a tweet asking about the AFC North.

To which the Colts responded:

EA Sports’ account would go on to delete their tweet, revealing the Colts would sport a 78 overall rating in the game, to which the Houston Texans would decide to boast about their higher rating. Hilarity ensued.

But the Colts didn’t even care.

Until the Houston Texans decided to chime in, touting their 81 rating in the game.

But it was the Colts who would get the last laugh, tweeting out a picture of the head-to-head matchup record and stats between the two teams. The Colts have defeated the Texans in 23 of the teams’ 28 matchups.
