Why is JuJu Smith-Schuster beefing with Eagles stars A.J. Brown, and James Bradberry? Explaining Twitter battle
During Super Bowl LVII, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster and Philadelphia Eagles cornerback James Bradberry were involved in a play. This largely determined the fate of the game and it has been chaos ever since.
Bradberry was penalised for holding Smith-Schuster on a third-down play late in the fourth quarter with the Chiefs in field-goal range. As a result, the Chiefs received an automatic first down, which they used to milk down the clock, leaving only eight seconds for the Eagles to tie or win the game.
The Eagles lost the game and the Super Bowl largely due to the penalty on the holding call. Few were impressed that the referees decided the fate of one of the best Super Bowls in history.
Several former players and analysts argued that the referee should not have penalized Bradberry. However, the Eagles cornerback asserted that he held JuJu Smith-Schuster and was appropriately handed the penalty.
There was nothing but respect among the players of both the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles during Super Bowl week. Things took a drastic turn as Smith-Schuster took a shot at Bradberry via one of his tweets.
Happy Valentine’s Day, everybody ❤️ https://t.co/skXuZVgrYR
After this tweet from the Chiefs receiver, Eagles receiver A.J. Brown clapped back at him:
"First off congratulations. Y’all deserve it .This is lame. You was on the way out the league before mahomes resurrected your career on your 1 year deal Tik-Tok boy . He admitted that he grabbed you but don’t act like your like that or ever was. But congratulations again!"
Brown was certainly not happy with Smith-Schuster's behavior as Bradberry didn't say anything and admitted his mistake. The Eagles receiver also claimed that Patrick Mahomes resurrected Smith-Schuster's career as not many teams were interested in him during the past free agency.
After this response from Brown, Smith-Schuster boasted about his Super Bowl win through a ring emoji in his tweet and said:
"Glad you were finally able to get all that off your chest after all these years. Good game bro."

James Bradberry only had a two-word response for JuJu Smith-Schuster
Although Smith-Schuster took a dig at James Bradberry on Twitter, the Eagles cornerback had only two words to say in response:
"ALL-PRO #APJB"
Bradberry had already admitted his mistake and didn't want to engage in a battle with the Chiefs receiver following the Super Bowl. However, Bradberry's teammate and Eagles safety C.J. Gardner Johnson wanted all the smoke and tweeted a series of tweets. He said:
"School boys acting gangsta ….."
"JuJu ran from me when I check him in game, then 10 got his smoke."
"I got more INT’s then bra had TD’s….. maybe I need to change to WR."

I got more INT’s then bra had TD’s….. maybe I need to change to WR 😅😂
Apart from Gardner Johnson, Tyreek Hill also went off against JuJu Smith-Schuster on Twitter. Here's what the former Chiefs receiver said:
"Man played victim, lol I’m logging off here today."

Micah Parsons, the Dallas Cowboys starlet, also came to the defense of the Eagles players and fired shots at the Chiefs receiver. He said:
"Damm social media has allowed players social media skills be better than their football skills!"
Despite being in the same division as the Eagles, Parsons didn't hesitate to take their side in this Twitter beef. He trolled JuJu Smith-Schuster for being better at TikTok than on the field.
Patrick Mahomes dropped a cryptic tweet to end the Eagles-Chiefs Twitter beef
Super Bowl LVII MVP Patrick Mahomes also tweeted when the Eagles players along with Tyreek Hill and Micah Parsons beefed with JuJu Smith-Schuster. The Chiefs QB posted:
"That man must just be bored."
That man must just be bored.
Nobody knows if this tweet was meant to be about JuJu Smith-Schuster, A.J. Brown, or Tyreek Hill, but fans enjoyed watching this battle after the Super Bowl.
