One of the best parts about Twitter is the ability for brands to make fun of customers who criticize them. This happens often with sports teams and their fans or opposing players.
Week 1 of the NFL was full of wire-to-wire close games. That led to one ridiculous stat.
This is the 1st time in NFL history that 3 games in Week 1 were decided by exactly 1 point. (via @EliasSports) pic.twitter.com/ufY0tcFEhn

Well, that tweet was sent out a little too early as this week was the first time in NFL history that FOUR games in Week 1 were decided by exactly 1 point. Now you may be asking which game was the fourth? We’ll let Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Terrance Williams tell you.
Well as Joe Buck so lovingly points out, Williams should’ve gotten out of bounds. Since Williams didn’t, the clock ran out, giving the New York Giants their first Week 1 game in six years. Williams wasn’t exactly applauded for the move on social media after the game.

Terrance Williams really thought he was doing some good by getting extra yardage. Bless his heart

In defense of Terrance Williams he's so used to dropping passes he doesn't know what to do when he catches one.

I like the move by Terrance Williams. Cant let your kicker miss a 55yarder for the loss. Take that on your own shoulders. Great teammate.

While of these tweets are pretty great, the knockout punch came from none other than the official account of EA Sports’ ‘Madden NFL’ franchise.
Terrance Williams Awareness Rating ⬇️⬇️⬇️#NYGvsDAL

Burn.
Going into week one, Williams had an awareness rating on Madden of 82, tied with Cole Beasley for the highest amongst Cowboys wide receivers. Now the question is with Madden’s week-to-week rating changes, how low will Williams’ awareness rating be before week two?
