It seems on Sunday we had a bit of a social media battle breakout between two of the NFL’s star running backs.

Earlier today, we reported that Philadelphia Eagles running back LeSean McCoy took a bit of a jab at Broncos running back Knowshon Moreno. In response to a Skip Bayless tweet about how well Moreno was performing against the Cowboys in that classic thriller from before, McCoy was so kind to point out that he thinks Moreno “sucks.”

Well, okay that’s one way to express your opinion.

Anyway, for those of you that were wondering whether or not Moreno would acknowledge the jab or take the high road and ignore it–well, he decided that he didn’t want to take the road:

Glad @CutonDime25 was watching our game tonight.Great team win,lets keeprolling.#5-0#LetHatersHate#ShotsWereFiredButNoOneGotHit

— Knowshon Moreno (@knowshonmoreno) October 7, 2013

In my opinion, this was nicely done, overall, by Moreno. He had that sarcastic politeness going in the beginning, and then followed it up by flashing his team’s record–which is unblemished, unlike the Eagles’.

Good shot Moreno. Sounds like there might be a little jealousy coming from Eagles back. Knowshon picked over him in the draft, dude’s finally getting his career going and getting to play with the best QB ever to play and now he’s a contributor for possibly the best offense in NFL history, yeah i think McCoy is a little jealous of Knowshon right now. Like Moreno said, haters gonna hate.
