Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith spearheaded a 26-21 comeback victory over the New York Jets on Sunday, and he had a little fun on social media afterward.

Smith trolled the Jets, who drafted him with a second-round pick in 2013, by posting the infamous funeral meme following the victory:

Smith threw for 206 yards and a touchdown in his return to MetLife Stadium as the Seahawks overcame a 21-7 deficit to improve to 7-5. The loss dropped the Jets to 3-9, effectively ending their season and ensuring their ninth straight losing campaign. Still, the 34-year-old didn't play up the revenge factor following the win.

"I'm not going to make it about myself," Smith said after the game. "I really did enjoy my time in New York. We're on a mission right now. The Jets were the next opponent."

Smith wasn't the only former New York draft pick to have a big day in Sunday's game, as Seattle defensive tackle Leonard Williams had two sacks, a blocked extra point and a 92-yard interception return touchdown. Williams began his career with the Jets as their first-round pick in 2015 before being traded to the New York Giants in 2019. The NFL announced that he's the first player since 1982 to record multiple sacks, an interception-return touchdown and a blocked kick in the same game.

The Jets will continue trudging along in another lost season when they meet the Miami Dolphins (5-7) next Sunday, while Smith, Williams and the Seahawks will be seeking their fourth straight win when they meet the Arizona Cardinals (6-6).
