The Arizona Cardinals won twice on Friday night; first on the roster and second on social media.
While acting as a window into the NFL franchise of your choice, the league’s social media teams also light up Twitter and Instagram with hilarious content.
That’s where the Cardinals came into play, using footage of a woman — now revealed to be Tiffany Gomas — who had risen to fame last month on an American Airlines flight.
The Arizona social team showed Gomas screaming “that m***** f***** ‘over there isn’t real'” before panning to the back of the plane where the Cards had inserted video of Wilson taking the exercise was.
It pokes fun at Wilson, who was mercilessly mocked for what he says spent four hours training on the team’s flight to London while his teammates slept – which included high knees up and down the aisle.
The Arizona Cardinals amusingly mock Russell Wilson after their preseason win on Friday
Ravens All-Pro kicker Justin Tucker jokingly said his quarterback Lamar Jackson “led (the team) on high knees” recently after Wilson told reporters he made the move in the aisles last season.
The footage used of Wilson was also ripped on social media this offseason by many, including former Bronco and three-time Super Bowl champion Mark Schlereth.
“This look at me, look at me, look at me. Look what I’m doing, I’m sliding, I’m doing push-ups with the soccer ball in my hand,” he said on The Stinkin’ Truth podcast in June.
“I just think to myself, dude, you played the worst football of your career. Not only was it pathetic, it was embarrassing.’
Back to Friday and Wilson led the Broncos 10-0 in a long run before the Cardinals scored a touchdown with 0:02 left to win 18-17 thanks to the ensuing two-point conversion.
Wilson completed 7/13 passes for 93 yards and also absorbed several big hits, including a sack by Dennis Gardeck.
