40 NFL Memes That Are More Entertaining Than the Games (Week 2 April)
Look, we all love football. The roar of the crowd, the smell of the grill, and that sweet, sweet moment when your team actually scores (finally). But let’s be honest—sometimes the memes? Way more exciting than the game itself. Especially in Week 2 of April, where things start getting weird: unexpected trades, QB drama, post-draft meltdowns, and fanbases in full panic mode. And where there’s chaos, there are memes.
At Grumpy Sharks, we’ve rounded up 40 of the funniest, pettiest, and most brutally honest NFL memes from this week—because if your team’s not winning, you at least deserve a good laugh. From head coach breakdowns to quarterback flops, these memes capture what it truly means to love football: pain, hope, and screenshots that will live forever on the internet.

Let’s talk quarterbacks. Whether it’s a rookie throwing more interceptions than completions or a veteran acting like the ball has cooties, Week 2 gave us plenty of content. The memes came fast and furious—especially when fans realized their backup QB might be the better choice. Again.
As NFL analyst Mina Kimes tweeted: “At this point, I trust a coin toss more than half these QB rooms.”—and judging by the memes, so do the fans.

Every week, there’s at least one wide receiver who celebrates a 3-yard gain like they won the Super Bowl. And you know social media doesn’t let that slide. Week 2 was no exception. With players dropping more passes than WiFi in a storm, the memes were ruthless. Think: SpongeBob with butterfingers levels of savagery.
But hey, at least they look good doing it. Somewhere, Antonio Brown is probably proud.

Some teams showed up to defend. Others… didn’t. And when a defense gives up 30+ points by halftime? Meme gold. NFL fans know the pain of watching a secondary that might as well be made of wet paper towels. Week 2 delivered plenty of those moments—and the internet responded with a flood of “invisible man tackling drills” and “defense loading…” memes.
It’s almost like some defenses are just auditioning for the Pro Bowl already.

The only thing better than a bad play is the coach’s reaction to it. Whether it’s headsets being slammed, eyebrows doing Olympic-level gymnastics, or that thousand-yard stare that screams “I left my family for this,” Week 2’s sideline reactions gave meme creators plenty of ammo.
Some fans are convinced their coach is just a highly paid meme generator. We’re not saying they’re wrong.

By Week 2, hope is either alive or officially dead. That’s when the real comedy starts. Fanbases start turning on their teams, each other, and their own sanity. Memes from Reddit and Twitter this week showed the full emotional collapse—from fans burning jerseys to making powerpoints on why “we still have a chance.” (Spoiler: they don’t.)
But hey, at least it’s entertaining. Nothing unites football fans like shared suffering.

It’s only Week 2, and some rookies are already trending—for the wrong reasons. Fans are asking, “Did we really use a first-round pick for this?” paired with memes of toddlers dropping footballs and goats fainting. Brutal, but also… kind of fair. At Grumpy Sharks, we don’t make the picks, we just make fun of them.

Let’s not forget the kickers—the most overlooked chaos agents in the NFL. Week 2 gave us everything from 60-yard miracles to chip shots that somehow veered into another time zone. One meme showed a kicker practicing in a hurricane, with the caption: “Conditions were better than Sunday.”
Whether they’re heroes or heartbreakers, NFL kickers are meme machines, and Week 2 did not disappoint. One missed field goal and boom—entire fanbases questioning their life choices. But hey, at least someone’s putting the “special” in special teams.

If you survived Week 2 of April without yelling at your TV or rage-posting in a team subreddit, congrats—you’re either Zen or don’t watch football. For the rest of us, memes are how we cope. They’re therapy, truth bombs, and comedy all rolled into one.
So grab your jersey, your favorite drink, and get ready to scroll through 40 NFL memes that sum up this week better than any box score ever could. And remember: no matter how bad your team is, at least you’re not the Jets.
(Okay, unless you are the Jets. In that case… sorry, buddy.)
