Mecole Hardman throws some Super Bowl shade toward Eli Apple

Mecole Hardman did not waste an opportunity to troll Eli Apple after the Cincinnati Bengals cornerback was beaten with a crucial play in the Super Bowl on Sunday night.
The Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver, and former Georgia star, quickly pointed out that Apple had 1-on-1 coverage on Cooper Kupp on the goal line and Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford went right at him on the decisive play. Here’s what happened:
That touchdown gave the Rams a 23-20 lead, which was their eventual margin of victory.
IT’S BEEN COOPER KUPP ALL YEAR.
HE DOES IT AGAIN. #RamsHouse

Hardman was savage in the aftermath, and it came after Apple and the Bengals beat Hardman’s Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game 2 weeks ago.
As long as Apple stays with the Bengals, it appears the Bengals and Chiefs, including Hardman and Apple, will stand toe to toe and be in the mix in the AFC to decide who goes to the Super Bowl in the next several years.
@EliApple It’s cool big bro! You might get one of these one day 🥺 but in the mean time just go get better at your craft ✌🏾 pic.twitter.com/y6ZJN5zkgS
