JuJu Smith-Schuster's troll prompts response from A.J. Brown
Love wasn’t in the air Tuesday when Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster posted a Valentine’s Day card directed at Philadelphia Eagles cornerback James Bradberry on Twitter.
The card featured a picture of a smiling Bradberry with the words, “I’ll hold you when it matters most.”
Happy Valentine’s Day, everybody ❤️ pic.twitter.com/skXuZVgrYR

The Valentine’s Day greeting comes two days after Bradberry’s costly holding penalty on Smith-Schuster late in the fourth quarter of Super Bowl LVII. The game-changing play helped the Chiefs record a 38-35 victory over the Eagles.
For his part, Bradberry owned up to his penalty after the game.
“It was holding,” he said. “I tugged his jersey. I was hoping they would let it slide.”
On Tuesday, Bradberry opted to take a subtle dig at Smith-Schuster by reminding Twitter users that he — and not Smith-Schuster — qualified for the All-Pro team.

While Bradberry’s response was subtle, Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown was more direct.

Smith-Schuster didn’t take long to respond to Brown’s comment, and added a retort to Eagles safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson, who also called him out.
Glad you were finally able to get all that off your chest after all these years. Good game bro 👍🏾💍 https://t.co/2JNdB6uYqU
