It was not a good day for the Philadelphia Eagles. While defensive back star Cooper DeJean didn’t play that poorly himself, the defending Super Bowl champs lost at home to the San Francisco 49ers in the Wild Card playoff game, and DeJean’s brother was arrested after the game and his rumored girlfriend wasn’t even there.

DeJean had two tackles and two passes defended in the game, but the offense sputtered and the 49ers made the plays late for a 23-19 win to send Philly home early this season.

Later on in the evening his 20-year-old brother Beckett was arrested for operating a vehicle while intoxicated (OWI).

The 22-year-old DeJean has not only been a hit on the field, but is quite popular off of it: He has been linked to 42-year-old WWE star Nikki Bella, who he was hanging out at a bar after an Eagles win, and rocked this stunning DeJean Eagles jersey fit below.

She wasn’t spotted at the big playoff game, however. Instead DeJean had his Iowa buddies in town and snapped a “boys” picture with them.

It’s now going to be a long offseason for the Eagles after their first-round exit.

Will DeJean be posting more with Bella now?
