40 NFL Memes That Are More Entertaining Than the Games (Week 4 April)
NFL games are full of adrenaline, jaw-dropping catches, and heart-breaking fumbles. But if there’s one thing even more thrilling than the actual action on the field, it’s the internet’s take on it all. Week 4 of the April 2025 NFL season delivered its usual share of drama, but fans turned every weird, wild, and wonderful moment into comedy gold. Whether it’s a kicker whiffing a field goal or a coach reacting like he just lost a bet, the memes this week hit harder than a linebacker blitz.
At Grumpy Sharks, we believe the best way to survive an NFL season—especially when your team is losing—is to laugh through it. That’s why we’ve gathered 40 of the funniest, most outrageous memes that captured the absolute madness of Week 4. You might cry during the game, but you’ll laugh after scrolling through these. And in today’s meme economy, laughter might just be the only thing that keeps us all sane.
The memes this week are more than just giggles. They reveal how deeply connected fans are to their teams, their players, and to each other. As journalist and sports humorist Drew Magary once said, “NFL fans are the most emotionally unbalanced people in sports. And that’s what makes us great.”

When Derrick Henry turned into a steamroller against the Bills with that 87-yard touchdown run, fans went wild. Within minutes, social media was filled with memes showing him bulldozing cartoon characters, sprinting past anime speed lines, and even Photoshopped into a NASCAR race. NFL analyst Kyle Brandt joked on Good Morning Football, “Henry’s not just a running back—he’s a Marvel superhero with a Tennessee jersey.”

Week 4 featured some seriously questionable quarterback decisions. One meme showed a QB launching a ball into triple coverage with the caption: “Trust issues? Throw it anyway.” Fans weren’t gentle. Whether it was a rookie under pressure or a veteran getting too confident, Twitter users quickly turned every interception into roast-worthy content.
A Reddit thread titled “This Week’s QB Decisions, Ranked by Chaos” gained over 15,000 upvotes and included everything from Baker Mayfield forgetting what down it was to Justin Fields doing his best “spin, spin, sack” routine.

The Eagles once again went full caveman with their controversial “Tush Push” (or “Brotherly Shove”). It worked—again—but not without sparking hundreds of memes. One particularly funny one showed a toddler being pushed in a toy car by three others with the text: “Eagles in 3rd & 1.”
According to The Athletic, the Eagles have a league-leading 92% success rate on the play, but the memes suggest fans are more entertained by its brute force and playground-style execution than its actual strategic merit.

Another week, another batch of missed kicks. One poor kicker sailed an extra point so far left it looked like he was aiming for the parking lot. A meme popped up showing a rocket blasting off into space with the caption: “Kicker just sending thoughts and prayers now.”
ESPN reported that kickers collectively missed 7 extra points and 4 field goals in Week 4. It’s not great—unless you’re a meme account. Then it’s fantastic.

Defensive highlights were few and far between in some of this week’s games. One viral meme showed a wide receiver catching a pass in complete isolation with the caption: “Did the defense call in sick today?” The Houston Texans’ busted coverage that allowed two back-to-back touchdowns was especially meme-worthy.
Pro Football Focus showed that missed assignments were up 11% from Week 3, which might explain why so many fans were joking about “invisible defenders” and defensive players who “vanish like Snapchat messages.”

Week 4 was a goldmine for meme-worthy coach reactions. Bill Belichick’s face when the Patriots failed a 4th-and-2 conversion looked like he had just tasted spoiled milk. One meme read: “When you realize you left the stove on but you’re coaching the Patriots.”
Even the Jaguars’ head coach Doug Pederson got meme treatment after arguing a call mid-game with the kind of energy usually reserved for toddlers in toy stores.
NFL Films later released mic’d-up footage, and let’s just say—some of those sideline rants should be rated PG-13.

Perhaps the most relatable and heartfelt memes came from fans themselves. Whether your team won or lost, everyone had something to say. One popular meme had a photo of a fan wearing a paper bag over their head, holding a sign that said: “Still Better Than Watching My In-Laws.”
Fans used humor to express disappointment, frustration, and irrational hope. According to a Pew Research Center study, over 67% of NFL fans engage with memes or jokes about the sport weekly. That number has likely skyrocketed with the growing number of meme accounts and TikToks dedicated to weekly NFL chaos.

Whether your team pulled off an unexpected W, flopped harder than a scripted WWE move, or just exists in that weird in-between space of “technically rebuilding for the 12th season straight,” we hope these memes gave you something to smile about.
Football can be brutal. Your quarterback might throw three interceptions, your kicker might miss a chip shot, and your coach might still think it’s 1987. But no matter how the scoreboard looks, the memes? The memes always win.
So share these with your group chat, tag that friend who refuses to admit their team is in shambles, and remember: if you can’t be champions on the field, you can still be legends in the comment section.
