Who says the NFL preseason can’t get incredibly petty and hilarious?
After the Arizona Cardinals earned an 18-17 preseason win over the Denver Broncos on Friday night, the Cardinals’ social media team absolutely roasted its old NFC West foe Russell Wilson by making fun of his London airplane workout routine while his other teammates were asleep.
Using a recent, NSFW viral video involving an unruly airline passenger claiming to see someone in the back of the plane that wasn’t a person, the Cardinals team showed the video of the woman yelling someone wasn’t real and then edited in a video of Wilson working out over an image of people sleeping on a plane.
Especially for the preseason, this is absolutely brutal trolling.

While the Cardinals have plenty of reasons to enjoy a good trolling of Wilson, this is just next-level petty stuff.
Arizona might not be in for the best 2023 as things stand, but they’ll easily have a candidate for best social media joke of the fall as of now.
Can you even imagine the Packers tweeting something like this. 😂 Absolutely amazing. https://t.co/ZSUFZKDdOO

The Cardinals have been mocked basically all offseason, so the first opportunity to fight back, they had to take it. https://t.co/J9rw2BWt3t

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised Arizona is bringing this much heat during the preseason. Russ roasted. https://t.co/i5oKOLVpJA

have to respect how the cardinals social media team realizes there's not going to be many opportunities for them to celebrate wins this year and took full advantage of this opportunity to make a fantastic video https://t.co/b1Zl8QNpwK

I wish this wasn't a preseason game because this would be so much better in the regular season. But it's still amazing. https://t.co/40Fg5qNV2R
