Panthers tight end Greg Olsen dunks all over a division rival on Twitter

Panthers tight end Greg Olsen has caught three touchdown passes against the Buccaneers in his career. Even though there was no game going on, Olsen scored on them again on Twitter this week.

During the NCAA tournament, every brand on the planet is trying to take advantage of bracket madness by engaging fans in polls on Twitter. That includes Fox Sports, which is sharing a series of one on one popularity contests between NFL teams in recent days.

The Bucs shared the poll between the Panthers and the Jets, suggesting fans should make sure Carolina loses, like their last matchup.

That’s when Olsen swooped in and dunked all over them. Here’s his response.

Olsen’s jab hurts that much more because it rings true. According to ESPN, Tampa averaged just 54,356 fans at home games last season. Only the Bengals and the Chargers had lower numbers.

By comparison, Carolina averaged 73,772 fans – ranking No. 7 in the NFL.
