With the two teams set to square off on Sunday, the Carolina Panthers poked a little fun at the Washington Redskins on Twitter.

With the two teams set to square off on Sunday, the Carolina Panthers poked a little fun at the Washington Redskins on Twitter.

The Redskins actually kind of started it, posting a video of Redskins fans at a bar in Panthers territory, celebrating in some fashion.

The Panthers fired back, hitting their opponents where it hurts – the controversy over their nickname. There was no response from the Redskins, so round 1 goes to the aggressors.
