In Week 4, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers could have been on the receiving end of what would have been a revenge game for the Philadelphia Eagles. Just a few months ago, in the postseason, the Buccaneers took it to the Eagles in dominating fashion.
To say the Eagles walked into this one motivated would be an understatement. Yet, it didn’t seem to matter.
Notoriously-exuberant Eagles defensive back C.J. Gardner-Johnson was particularly hyped for the game, offering Tampa Bay fans a message before heading out onto the field.
Prior to walking out of the tunnel for this matchup, Gardner-Johnson looked into a camera and said the words:
“I’mma put belt to a** today.”
It doesn’t take much to figure out just what the infamous trash talker was trying to say, there, but let’s just say things didn’t exactly go as planned for C.J.
Not only did things not go as planned, but the Bucs came out firing, making Gardner-Johnson eat those words in a hurry. Quarterback Baker Mayfield tossed a pair of touchdowns in the opening quarter, leading to what ended up as a total beatdown of the Eagles.
Those first two touchdowns, though, had something in common; something that, hilariously, you cannot make up.
