Pittsburgh Steelers rookie wide receiver Chase Claypool had a massive, breakout game in Week 5 against in-state rival Philadelphia Eagles.
The Steelers' young wideout took to Twitter after the game to celebrate and … sort of troll Tom Brady?

Heading into Week 5, Claypool had just six career receptions for 151 yards and one touchdown through three games. He also had one carry for eight yards.
Then, going up against the Eagles, something clicked for the young Steelers wide receiver. Claypool racked up seven receptions for 110 yards and three touchdowns. He even added one carry for three more yards and another touchdown.
For those counting, that is four touchdowns in a game. Hence the photoshop of Claypool's head on Brady's body with four fingers up, a nod to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' veteran passer forgetting what down it was in their Thursday loss to the Chicago Bears.
Now to be fair, the rookie probably wasn't really trying to throw shots at Brady. The superstar quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers just so happened to catch a stray here.
This led to an already iconic moment for Brady's folly, though—a photo, video, GIF (whatever your preferred method is) of Brady asking the ref if that was fourth down will live on forever.
Could this now be the “four” version of the Kobe Bryant meme where the basketball legend counts to five?
Maybe we can keep getting stars to count numbers in a funny way to get us all the way up to 10. Who knows.
For now though, Brady is going to have to deal with being the butt of a few jokes. That includes at the expense of Claypool, the Steelers' breakout star who definitely deserves to brag a little bit after that incredible breakout game in Week 5.
