C.J. Gardner-Johnson is not letting up on Deebo Samuel.
The Cleveland Browns and the previously unbeaten San Francisco 49ers got into a fight before the game’s opening kickoff, which led to the Cleveland Browns’ shocking victory. Players from San Francisco Brandon Aiyuk, Deebo Samuel, Juan Thornhill, and Trent Williams were among those who were spotted shoving and pushing.
Chauncey Gardner-Johnson saw a clip of the fight and decided to take a shot at Deebo, who shot right back at him.
On Tuesday, the Detroit Lions defensive back posted a video on social media saying the San Francisco 49ers wide receiver “can’t run routes” and is a “running back.”

There is clearly some bad blood between the two stemming from last season’s NFC Championship Game.
Gardner-Johnson was a member of the Philadelphia Eagles team that eliminated Samuel’s 49ers, although an injury to quarterback Brock Purdy pretty much decided the outcome of that game early on.
Samuel called Philadelphia his “most hated” team in the league this offseason. Gardner moved on to the Lions and has been sidelined with a pectoral injury he suffered in Week 2 against the Seattle Seahawks, while Samuel suffered a shoulder injury during Sunday’s loss to the Browns.
Detroit leads the NFC North with a 5-1 record and the 49ers lead the NFC West with the same 5-1 record.
A potential meeting in the postseason come happen.
