Lakers News: Falcons Troll D’Angelo Russell After Win Over Cowboys

The Atlanta Falcons got a big win on NFL Sunday by defeating the Dallas Cowboys to move to 6-3 on the season. And they worked quickly to make a joke about Cowboys fandom, tying it back to the Los Angeles Lakers with D’Angelo Russell as the unfortunate victim.

The long-running joke about Cowboys fans is that they are also Lakers fans and New York Yankees fans, essentially saying that those fans simply bandwagon those teams because of the history and sustained success. The Falcons leaned into this heavily after beating the Cowboys in Week 9 of the 2024 NFL season.
