The Buffalo Bills wasted no time using the revived TikTok app to troll the Baltimore Ravens after their Divisional playoff victory on Sunday evening.
After months of a looming ban from the United States government, TikTok was temporarily shut down in America on Saturday before being restored on Sunday to the shock of many.
Several pinned messages from the app updated users on its status, first of the mandated shutdown, then it’s revival, invoking praise to President Donald Trump, even with him spearheading the original attempts to ban the social-media app in 2020.
The Bills used those messages that popped up once users logged into the app as inspiration for their brilliant troll.
‘Sorry, Ravens aren’t available right now,’ a Bills’ celebratory TikTok was intentionally interrupted. ‘A game eliminating the Ravens has been played in Orchard Park. Unfortunately, this means you can’t watch the Ravens until next season.’
‘We are fortunate that the Buffalo Bills have moved on to the AFC Championship. We will see you in Kansas City. Please stay tuned!’

The video shows Buffalo offensive lineman Dion Dawkins celebrating and running off the field in Buffalo before the clip was paused to show the trolling message.
The Bills will appear in their first AFC Championship Game since 2021 this weekend, which was also a road loss to the Chiefs, on Sunday in Kansas City.
Buffalo’s matchup against Baltimore was seen as the most compeтιтive game of the Divisional round, with the Bills losing in that round of the postseason for each of the last three years.
The Bills were the only team to defeat the Chiefs previously this season at full strength, with the rematch likely crowning the favorite heading into the Super Bowl.
TikTok has stayed active into midday Monday with no further interruptions to the service expected.
