Kayvon Thibodeaux, Dez Bryant Trade Jabs Social Media
The Eagles' victory was spearheaded by a three-touchdown performance by their starting running back Saquon Barkley. Barkley was signed by the Eagles in free agency this past offseason after the New York Giants let him walk.
The Giants had another abysmal season, while their former star running back will be playing in his first Super Bowl. Following the win former Cowboys star Dez Bryant made a comment, insinuating that the Giants must be upset seeing Saquon shine with their division rival.
"The Giants have got to be sick; I don't care what anyone says," Bryant wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Giants edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux then chimed in as well, clowning Bryant for not winning a Super Bowl in his career.
"We got the same amount of Super Bowls," Thibodeaux hit back.
Bryant then hit back in a separate quote, referring to many of the Giants' players as sorry.
"The only player over there who's legit is Malik Nabers... Other than that, sorry to break it to you buddy, you guys are awful," Bryant shot back, "Cut all of that political s-t out! ...You better hope they don't trade your ass the way you're hyping ...Pipe down buddy... I bet not see you looking for a trade or cut."
Malik Nabers Calls Giants 'Soft'
The Giants finished the regular season 3-14 and last in the NFC East division. So you can imagine that frustrations are shown in their locker room over the course of the season. That sentiment was especially true for the Giants' star rookie wide receiver, Malik Nabers who expressed his disdain for New York's offense, which he described as "soft as f—k." Nabers also noted that all the blame can't be put on the quarterback, namely former Giants quarterback, Daniel Jones, who they released in the middle of the season.
"Obviously, it ain't the quarterback," Nabers said. "Same outcome when we had DJ at quarterback. Take a look: It ain't the quarterback."
Nabers also expressed his frustration with the lack of targets, calling out head coach Brian Daboll in the process.
"First, second quarter, I don't get the ball. Start getting targets at the end. I mean, can't do nothing. Start getting the ball when it's 30-0. What do you want me to do?" Nabers said
"Talk to Dabes about that/ They come up to me and ask me what plays I want and that was that. I don't know."
