NFL: Super Bowl LVII-Kansas City Chiefs vs Philadelphia Eagles
(New York, NY) – As the Eagles and their fans continue to lick their wounds following a defeat in the Super Bowl at the hands of the Kansas City Chiefs, some players are speaking out.
That includes safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson, who just called out his former defensive coordinator. After one of the Eagles’ beat reporters shared video showing Jonathan Gannon discussing “what went wrong in the 2nd half” – Gardner Johnson responded.
“You ain’t put us in position to make plays,” he wrote quote-tweeting 94 WIP Eagles reporter Eliot Shorr-Parks. Gardner-Johnson would later delete the tweet and fire off another one, saying “Going back to sleep.”
Gannon on the other hand expressed remorse for not getting the job done.

“Tough to swallow when you look back at that because it’s such a big stage and we didn’t get it done for the city, for Mr. (Jeffrey) Lurie, for Howie (Roseman) and for the head coach,” he said. “But learned a lot from it and you gotta give credit to Kansas City. Obviously, I could’ve done a lot better job of what we were doing.”
Gannon has since left Philly to take over as the head coach of the Arizona Cardinals.
