Falcons wide receiver Taylor Gabriel caught two touchdown passes Sunday in the Falcons’ 38-19 win over the Cardinals.

On the second, the Falcons’ official Twitter account seized the opportunity to troll the official account of the Browns, Gabriel’s old team.

Gabriel was waived by the Browns during the 53-man roster cutdown in September and claimed the next day. As an undrafted rookie in 2014 in Cleveland Gabriel played for Falcons offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan.

As Gabriel was weaving his way through the Cardinals’ defense, the Browns were busy losing to the Giants and falling to 0-12. They’re an easy target right now, and the Falcons just couldn’t pass up the chance to rub it in.

Gabriel now has five touchdowns this season, four receiving and one rushing. He had one touchdown in two seasons with the Browns.
