Things obtained heated on the sphere at Arrowhead Stadium, and that’s earlier than the “Thursday Night Football” recreation began.
During NFL Network’s pregame show earlier than the Broncos took on the Chiefs, former large receiver and present analyst Steve Smith stated he tried to achieve out to Jerry Jeudy throughout warmups to apologize for earlier feedback he made concerning the Broncos large receiver — however Jeudy was having none of it.
Smith, on air alongside reporter Mike Garafolo, defined that he had beforehand known as out Jeudy for being a “JAG” — or “just a guy” — and wished to apologize after Jeudy had reeled in 17 catches by his first 4 video games.
But when Smith noticed Jeudy take the sphere for warmups, the wideout was having none of it.
Smith stated Jeudy went so far as to curse at Smith and added: “I don’t mess with you,” after which apparently repeated his phrases.
So, at that time, the previous two-time All-Pro wideout appeared perturbed at Jeudy and walked again any deliberate apology.

“I’ll repeat it — I’m sorry I said you were a JAG or just a guy who’s an average wide receiver they used a first-round pick on that doesn’t do anything,” Smith stated. “I hope you show up right this moment in a means that you just haven’t proven up within the final couple of years since they drafted you.
“So if you’ve ever got a problem with Agent 89, I’m sorry for saying you’re an average wide receiver that [the Broncos] will eventually move on, and when teams call me and ask [if] they should trade for you, I will say no, don’t trade for Jerry Jeudy because he mentally unable to handle constructive criticism. … He can be a wide receiver — he’s a tier 3.”
That solely led to extra pregame drama, as Jeudy was then seen loudly yelling and leaping round close to the sideline earlier than the sport in opposition to the Chiefs, even getting within the background of the show’s shot.
After dropping on Sunday in opposition to the Jets, the Broncos entered Thursday at 1-4 underneath Sean Payton and are actually reportedly bracing for a “teardown.”
Whether or not there’s a teardown in Denver, there undoubtedly was fairly the takedown within the pregame show.
For what it’s price, Jeudy did reel in a catch on the sport’s first sequence, although he misplaced a yard on the play.
