Spencer Rattler’s touchdown pass to Foster Moreau makes it a one-point game, but the 2-point conversion is no good, giving the Commanders a 20-19 win. (0:41)

There were a handful of close finishes in Week 15 of the NFL season, and one of them prompted a strong troll.
The Washington Commanders held on to defeat the New Orleans Saints 20-19. The Saints went down the field to make it a one-point game as time dwindled in the fourth. New Orleans then opted to go for a 2-point conversion and the win.
However, Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler’s intended pass for tight end Juwan Johnson was broken up as time expired, giving the Commanders the victory.
Washington opted for multiple trolls after the win, editing a viral video and poking fun at the traditional spiritual “When The Saints Go Marching In” song.

Here are more of the top trolls from Week 15.
Sportv Green Bay Packers 30, Seattle Seahawks 13
The Green Bay Packers shined on “Sunday Night Football” against the Seattle Seahawks.
Green Bay was led by 229 passing yards and two touchdowns from Jordan Love. Packers running back Josh Jacobs added 94 yards on the ground plus a score. The Seahawks lost quarterback Geno Smith to an injury midway in the third quarter and had only 208 yards of offense.
With Seattle being known for its coffee, Green Bay made its caffeine preference clear with a postgame troll.

Sportv Los Angeles Rams 12, San Francisco 49ers 6
A low-scoring Thursday night game ended in a Los Angeles Rams victory against the San Francisco 49ers.
Neither team reached the end zone, but the Rams went ahead in the fourth quarter thanks to three field goals from Joshua Karty. The 49ers had just 191 total yards plus one turnover.
Los Angeles went with multiple jabs postgame, stuffing San Francisco’s famous pregame speaker in the trash. The Rams also followed a Roman Reigns “Niners gang!” post with a photo of the Rock, who confronted Reigns during WWE’s Bad Blood event in October.
