As the NFL season settles into October, trolls will only get (pumpkin) spicier, and such was the case in Week 5.

Through the rain, the New York Jets found a way to bounce the Cleveland Browns with a 17-12 win in front of their home crowd. Jets running back Braelon Allen led the way with 116 rushing yards and a touchdown, followed by wide receiver Garrett Wilson's 104 receiving yards and a touchdown.

Quarterback Geno Smith finished the game with 182 passing yards and a touchdown.

After their win, the Jets ran to social media with a clever troll that has Cleveland Brown[s] all over it -- literally. They posted a photo of the character Cleveland Brown, featured on the hit animated television shows "Family Guy" and "The Cleveland Show," but instead of wearing his usual yellow shirt, he wore a green shirt with a Jets cap.

The Jets weren't the only team to get its trolling on after a win. Here are the best trolls from Week 5 in the NFL.

Pittsburgh Steelers 34, Indianapolis Colts 22

The Steelers advanced to 3-0 on their home turf after a win that saw quarterback Aaron Rodgers throw for 235 yards and three touchdowns -- two to tight end Pat Freiermuth and one to running back Jaylen Warren. Pittsburgh took the win and ran with it, resulting in a series of trolls. The game's final score graphic was captioned "Hold your horses," while two more posts showed a clip of a horse looking at the final score and a reference to the "Parks and Rec" pony "Little Sebastian."

Cincinnati Bengals 31, Miami Dolphins 24

Cincinnati extended Miami's winless season with a 31-24 home win, led by quarterback Joe Burrow's four touchdown passes to four different Bengals: Ja'Marr Chase, Tanner Hudson, Samaje Perine and Mike Gesicki. Cincinnati chose to lean into the lore of the popular video game "Grand Theft Auto." The latest edition of the game, expected to be released next month, takes place in the fictional "Vice City," which is heavily inspired by Miami.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers 24, Dallas Cowboys 16

Tampa Bay collected its first win of the season on "Thursday Night Football" in the Cowboys' AT&T Stadium, led by running back Bucky Irving's 165 rushing yards and two touchdowns. Undrafted rookie Jalon Daniels stepped up in his second start in place of Baker Mayfield, while Emeka Egbuka also scored a touchdown for the Bucs.

What's a win over the Cowboys without a troll?

The Buccaneers leaned on the environment for a proper troll against Dallas, which plays in a climate-controlled dome. Their troll was a thermostat labeled "WIN."
