Most people like to share pictures of the meals they prepare for Thanksgiving. But more often than not, they do it when the food looks good. However, Jacksonville mayor Lenny Curry isn’t like most people and chose to upload the botched job he did on Twitter, which in turn ended up becoming a meme. Not long after the Jacksonville Jaguars’ victory over the Baltimore Ravens, pictures of his turkey surfaced again.

Emily Bloch of the Philadelphia Inquirer posted a meme of two birds that got “smoked” in Jacksonville this week. On the left, you can see a picture of the Ravens and on the right, there’s Curry’s failed attempt to cook.

It’s uncertain if Curry posted the picture ironically but it’s clear it came back to many people’s minds following the Jaguars’ win and when you think about it, there might not be a better representation of the Ravens’ following their loss.

This was an eventful, hard-fought win for the Jaguars

Things were off to a bad start and the Jags had to earn this victory. The game had to be delayed 25 minutes due to heavy rain and although Jacksonville was trailing for most of the game, it was a pretty eventful day. Jaxson De Ville turned heads across social media for his antics. This was possible because the Jaguars mascot was wearing very light clothes and pulled off some cringy dancing moves.

De Ville made sure everyone was paying attention to what the Jaguars were doing and once folks were tuned in, they were rewarded what has been arguably Jacksonville’s biggest win over the last three years and Trevor Lawrence’s best game in his short NFL career.

It was hard to tell how the Jaguars were going to respond to their 27-17 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 10. But looking at their win over the Ravens, it seems like they made good use of their Bye. Trevor Lawrence threw for three interceptions with no touchdowns. Running back JaMycal Hasty did a good job of filling in for Travis Etienne, who left the game with a foot injury and the defense managed to limit Lamar Jackson’s impact on the game.

Although the Jags still have a long way to go, both players and the coaching staff should be thrilled the team is headed in the right direction. The turkey meme is the icing on the cake.
