Jadeveon Clowney's Comments on Eagles Fans After Carson Wentz Hit Will Only Make Philly Angrier
By Scott Rogust
The Seattle Seahawks defeated the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday evening to advance to the Divisional Round of the playoffs. However, no one is talking about the particulars of the game in the aftermath.
Rather, they're talking about the questionable hit by Jadeveon Clowney on Carson Wentz, which knocked the quarterback out for the remainder of the game due to a head injury.
When asked about it after the game, Clowney suggests he's going to get death threats from Eagles fans, whom he called the "worst fans in the world."
That's enough to rile up Eagles fans, right? Oh, but Clowney continued, saying the fanbase hates him because they "think [he] tried to kill Nick Foles."
That comment stems from a similar hit that Clowney performed on Foles while he was a member of the Houston Texans, netting him a $40,000 fine. He wasn't ejected from that game, either.
Clowney went onto say that both hits on Foles and Wentz were "bang-bang plays."
Jadeveon Clowney won twice on Sunday. The Seahawks were victorious, and he avoided ejection. But he decided that wasn't enough, choosing to go after the Eagles fanbase. That's the equivalent of punching a beehive.
