The Arizona Cardinals had some fun trolling Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson on Friday night.
After the Cardinals beat the Broncos by a final score of 18-17, they taunted Wilson with the “he’s not real” meme. They combined the viral video of a woman yelling “That guy is not real” on a plane earlier this year with Wilson working out.
The tweet got almost five million views before it was taken down.
After more 4.8 million views, the @Cardinals have deleted the Russell Wilson trolling video.
Wonder who forced them to delete it?https://t.co/IVwWRymfoL

Wilson finished the content going 7-of-13 for 93 yards and a touchdown.
Even though it was all fun and games, someone in the organization must’ve thought the tweet was in poor taste, hence why it was taken down.
Wilson is hoping to make a lot of people eat crow this upcoming season after he struggled during his first season as a Bronco. He finished last season completing only 60.5% of his passes for 3,524 yards, 16 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions.
It’s time to see if Russ can “cook” this season with Sean Payton now at the helm.
