C.J. Gardner-Johnson was full of energy after the Philadelphia Eagles' dominant 40-22 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LVIII. With the win sealed, Gardner-Johnson wasted no time showing his confidence, delivering some bold trash talk to his critics.
During an interview with TMZ Sports after the game, Gardner-Johnson proudly stated, "We put belt to ass" on the Chiefs, referencing the Eagles' dominant performance. But the safety didn't stop there-he made sure to send a direct message to those who had mocked him earlier in the season. "All ya'll tried to clown me," he said. "Now, I'm clowning ya'll stupid asses!" His post-game remarks were full of energy, and they certainly didn't disappoint Eagles fans.
Gardner-Johnson wasn't alone in celebrating. He ed forces with former Eagles star DeSean Jackson, with the two sending a message to Gardner-Johnson's former team, the Detroit Lions. And the trash talk continued well into the next day. On Monday morning, Gardner-Johnson took to social media, targeting Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. In a post that featured a photo of him in front of Kelce during the game, Gardner-Johnson wrote, "Should've stayed w that thick s****," referencing Kelce's past relationship with Kayla Nicole.
More Trash Talk on the Way
If you think Gardner-Johnson's trash talk is over, think again. The Eagles' safety has more to say, and with Philadelphia's victory parade coming soon, it's likely he'll have plenty more moments to celebrate. Don't expect him to hold back as he continues to relish the win. The Eagles may have captured the Super Bowl, but it seems Gardner-Johnson is determined to keep his trash-talking streak going.
