In all fairness to Apple, Kupp has beaten pretty much every cornerback he’s come up against this year. And it was also a play from the Bengals’ one-yard line. But that hasn’t stopped fellow NFLers from roasting Eli on Twitter afterwards.

Rookie wide receiver Rashod Bateman began with a simple apple emoji, which caught the attention of star teammates Marquise Brown and Lamar Jackson.
It was a pretty rough afternoon overall for Apple, who was beat on both of Kupp’s touchdown in the game. Both were obviously costly for Cincy, as they fell to the Rams, 23-20.
