“Rams expertly troll Dan Campbell over ‘see you in two weeks’ comment after blowout playoff victory over Vikings…
The Los Angeles Rams weren’t just dominant on the field during their recent playoff victory over the Minnesota Vikings—they also stole the spotlight with their cheeky post-game antics, trolling Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell in the process. Campbell, known for his fiery and bold personality, had confidently predicted a playoff rematch against the Rams with his now-infamous “See you in two weeks” comment. The Rams, however, made sure to have the last laugh.
A Bold Prediction Backfires
Dan Campbell’s Lions had secured a playoff spot after a stellar season and were brimming with confidence. Ahead of their Wild Card game against the Dallas Cowboys, Campbell confidently declared that he expected to meet the Rams in the NFC Championship game, assuming both teams would handle their respective opponents.
However, Campbell’s prediction came to an abrupt halt when his Lions were upset by the Cowboys, and the Rams dismantled the Vikings in a decisive 27-9 blowout victory. The Rams wasted no time turning Campbell’s bold statement into a comedic goldmine.
The Troll Heard Around the League
After their dominant performance, the Rams’ social media team took to Twitter with a perfectly crafted jab. A graphic reading “See You in Two Weeks? 🧐” was posted, accompanied by highlights of their victory over the Vikings. The caption read, “We’re here, but where’s Dan?”
The post quickly went viral, sparking laughter across the NFL community. Rams players joined in on the fun during post-game interviews, with defensive star Aaron Donald joking, “We’ll wait for him… maybe next season.”
Fans and Analysts React
The trolling campaign was an instant hit among Rams fans, who praised the team’s ability to win on the field and on social media. Even neutral fans couldn’t help but appreciate the clever response.
NFL analysts weighed in, with some suggesting that Campbell’s comments may have given the Rams extra motivation to deliver a statement win. “Trash talk is fun, but you have to back it up,” said one commentator. “The Rams were ready, and Campbell’s comment just added fuel to their fire.”
Dan Campbell’s Response
Campbell, known for his candid nature, took the trolling in stride. During his post-elimination press conference, he laughed off the Rams’ post, saying, “Hey, I love it. They earned it. We’ll see them next season, and I’ll make sure to keep my comments a little quieter.”
His humility and humor earned him respect from fans, but the episode serves as a reminder of the fine line between confidence and hubris in the high-stakes world of the NFL.
What’s Next for the Rams?
As the Rams gear up for their next playoff challenge, they’ve shown they can handle business both on and off the field. Their ability to deliver a statement victory—and have fun while doing it—cements their status as serious contenders.
For Dan Campbell and the Lions, the offseason will be an opportunity to reflect and build on an otherwise impressive season. And perhaps, next time, Campbell will think twice before making predictions that could come back to haunt him.
In the NFL, nothing is guaranteed—but as the Rams proved, a little humor goes a long way in celebrating success.
