The harshest digs come from the mouths of babes.

DeAngelo Williams knows this. Despite being a master of trash talk in his own right, the Steelers running back enlisted the help of his daughters for his most recent zinger aimed at the New England Patriots.

My 2-year-old daughter stars as the Patriots, while Roger Goodell is played by my 6-year-old (in this short film)...https://t.co/xGSCEPZqCJ

In case you're unable to watch the video, it features Williams' younger daughter trying to guess the animal on a card that she can't see on her forehead:

After a number of unsuccessful attempts to emerge victorious, the 2-year-old decided she'd had enough of fair play and removed the headband, while the 6-year-old cried foul and pointed out that she was cheating:

That was all Williams needed to see of this little morality play. One side cheating, and the other using unlimited power to call out the rules violation? For Williams, that's the Patriots and Roger Goodell in a nutshell.

In this case, however, there was no formal appeal by the cheating party. No word yet on whether the 2-year-old will be suspended for the first four games of the next session of play-time.

It's not the first time Williams has taken a shot at the Patriots this offseason. In February, he tweeted that the only person in New England who likes Bill Belichick is Tom Brady.

The Patriots and Steelers meet Week 7 in Pittsburgh. By then, Brady will be back from his suspension, and New England will be out for revenge.
