NFL soccer was WILD on Sunday. Final second game-winning scores, a number of eye-popping one-handed catches, and bitter brawls between groups with unhealthy blood. Blood so unhealthy, in actual fact, that one recreation is being talked about for a literal homicide menace.
In line with Yahoo! Sports activities, Tennessee Titans working again Julius Chestnut says that Jacksonville Jaguars punter, the PUNTER, Logan Cooke, threatened to take Chestnut’s life throughout one of many many scuffles that broke out through the recreation.
“I don’t actually know why the punter did that. Actually, I used to be simply attempting to play arduous, and he got here as much as me, stated he was going to kill me, you understand. So, I don’t know what made him try this,” stated Chestnut.
Chestnut was requested why he believed Cooke was so indignant.
