Phillip Lindsay Rips Broncos WRs; Jeudy Claps Back

In this story:
Former Denver Broncos Pro Bowl running back Phillip Lindsay seems to be embracing his move to the media.
Lindsay, now a radio co-host for 104.3 The Fan, let loose an explosive take on his former team, accusing the Broncos' wide receivers of "no-showing" during Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears.
"Where are the receivers!! All that money out there to be no-shows?" Lindsay tweeted.

Lindsay's critique came as Denver fell into a 28-7 halftime hole which appeared insurmountable. The Broncos then went on a furious comeback to beat the Bears, 31-28, earning their first win of the season.
Afterward, suffice it to say, his tweet wasn't ... received kindly by WR Jerry Jeudy, who led the club with 52 yards on three catches.
"Glad you got to watch the game from the crib fam," Jeudy clapped back.

Jeudy also responded to Broncos Ring-of-Fame WR Rod Smith, who seconded Lindsay's criticism.
"As a reciever you should know how this football shxt go but it was good win doe #controlwhatcancontrol" he tweeted.

While Jeudy's interaction with a pair of Broncos fan favorites could've been handled more gracefully, it's understandable that he's feeling his oats after getting off the losing schneid in 2023.
