The Philadelphia Eagles Lane Johnson and Jason Kelce were talking big-time trash about Greg Hardy after the Birds pulled out the overtime victory.
Johnson, the Eagles right tackle, slid over to the left to fill in for the injured Jason Peters. Johnson more than held his own — and then afterwards, slammed Hardy for being a front-runner.
“Any time I had a chance to put a little extra mustard on a block, I tried,” Johnson told reporters after the game (via ESPN). “He wasn’t all that emotional in the game. I guess he is in other games. I don’t know if the stuff got to him on the news, but he kind of seemed out of it a little bit.”
Lane Johnson on Greg Hardy: "I've faced better. … When things aren't going well he's a guy that shuts it down." #Eagles

Kelce took personal satisfaction in the fact that Philly held Hardy to three tackles and a sack, bringing up Hardy’s off the field issues as well.
"I’m glad he didn’t have a good day. It's a joke a guy like that is able to play this quickly.” @Jkelce #Eagles #Cowboys #Hardy

"3 people I have zero respect for in this world. People who hit women; who molest children; rapists." @Jkelce #Eagles #Hardy #Cowboys

The comments came on the heels of a 33-27 win for the Eagles, pushing them to a 4-4 record as Dallas lost its sixth consecutive game.
