The San Francisco 49ers lost the 2024 Super Bowl, 25-22, in overtime to Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs.
Immediately after the game, 49ers WR Deebo Samuel was on the receiving end of some shade from Philadelphia Eagles DT Fletcher Cox.
“@19problemz keep the EAGLES OUT CHO MOUTH BOE,” Cox wrote on his Instagram story.
Cox continued in a follow-up IG story: “I still got some you ain’t got. Ya!! I been holding this one in son!!!!! EAD”
Samuel made headlines during Super Bowl week with a subtle shot at the Eagles.
“I consider rivalries close games. We ain’t going to talk about that no more. That’s over with,” Samuel said on Opening Night on February 5.
The 49ers most recently beat the Eagles, 42-19, in Week 13 in December. Prior to that, the Eagles dropped the 49ers 31-7 in last season’s NFC Championship.
After the, Samuel also called Eagles CB James Bradberry “trash” on the “I Am Athlete” podcast with LeSean McCoy. He later told “Up & Adams” that he didn’t regret his comments.
“We was just talking ball. I said what I said and they dragged it on or whatever. … At the end of the day, yeah I said it, but I don’t regret it.”
The Eagles also went on to lose to Mahomes and the Chiefs in the 2023 Super Bowl. However, as Cox referenced, he already has a Super Bowl ring, which Philadelphia won in 2018 in a 41-33 shootout over the New England Patriots.
On Sunday night, CBS Sports’ Zack Gelb revealed on X a conversation he had with Cox about Samuel leading up to the Super Bowl.
“I asked Fletcher Cox about Deebo Samuel on radio row. After the interview, he told me that he bit his tongue on air and pointed out that Deebo hasn’t won anything yet. Now here we are…was only a matter of time.”
