Philadelphia Eagles star wideout A.J. Brown had quite the response for JuJu Smith-Schuster’s tweet that poked fun at cornerback James Bradberry, and it didn’t take long for the Kansas City Chiefs’ wideout to respond.
Late in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s Super Bowl game, Smith-Schuster drew a questionable holding penalty from Bradberry that gave the Chiefs a fresh set of downs. The penalty call allowed KC to melt most of the clock, and Harrison Butker booted the game-winning field goal in the waning seconds.
