This weekend’s NFL wild card round truly lived up to its name. Four road teams advanced to the divisional round for the first time in NFL history. Whether it was a close game or a blowout, social media had no chill when it came to memes during the games. Here are the best memes from each wild card game.

After throwing four interceptions in the 30-0 loss to the Chiefs, Texans quarterback Brian Hoyer earned the honor of “Turnover King,” according to Twitter.

Pittsburgh Steelers at Cincinnati Bengals

Despite a major comeback, the Bengals would kiss their winning playoff hopes goodbye after a fumble and two penalties.

The Steelers led 15-0 until the fourth quarter when the Bengals scored 16 unanswered points. It was under the two minute mark that the Bengals self-destructed which led Pittsburgh to the game-winning field goal. The game was so close that many thought the Bengals were actually going to pull a win out for the first time since 1991.

A low scoring game set Vikings kicker Blair Walsh up to attempt the game-winning 27-yard field goal. A bad hold hooked the kick left with 22 seconds remaining for the Seahawks to take the win.

Twitter, however, had another theory of why the kick missed.

After a slow start, the Packers took a six point lead until the fourth quarter when they scored 11 unanswered points to seal the win. After the game, Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb went into the locker room yelling Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins’ signature phrase “You like that?”  Well, I’m guessing Cousins doesn’t like it so much now.
