After the Atlanta Falcons held on for a win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday night, Falcons pass rusher Takk McKinley took to Twitter to troll the Buccaneers’ quarterback.

Earlier this season, Winston attempted to inspire his team with a pregame speech about eating “a W” with a win.

On Monday, McKinley recorded a sack on Winston and celebrated with his own “eat a W” celebration, mocking Winston.

After the game, McKinley posted a photo of his celebration with the finale score of 24-21 and the caption, “That’s a W... Let’s eat one.”
