The Arizona Cardinals took to Twitter on Friday evening to troll quarterback Russell Wilson after defeating the Denver Broncos in their preseason opener.
After beating the Broncos 18-17 at home, the Cardinals shared a meme video of a woman who shouted “that [expletive] is not real!” before pointing to a man at the back of a plane. In Arizona’s video, the camera then pans to Wilson exercising in the back of a plane.
The Cardinals, of course, are referencing when Wilson said last season that he stretched and worked out for four hours during an eight-hour flight to London last fall. The team’s tweet has since been deleted, but not before other Twitter users saved it.

Last year’s in-flight workouts worked for Wilson as the Broncos defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars 21-17 a few days later.
Wilson had a decent game against the Cardinals on Friday, completing 7-of-13 passes for 93 yards and one touchdown. Wilson has faced Arizona, a former division rival, 20 times in his career. The QB has an 11-8-1 (win-loss-tie) all-time record against the Cards in the regular season.
