Chase Claypool's boneheaded celebration in the Pittsburgh Steelers' loss has drawn the attention of Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Darius Slay.
As the Steelers tried to complete their comeback against the Minnesota Vikings, Claypool did a celebration after picking up a first down, which cost Pittsburgh time, as they had no timeouts left. Minnesota held on for the win.

that would have given the Steelers 1 more play… 1 more shot to tie it up

Slay joined in the mockery the day after the Steelers' loss. Philadelphia's star defensive back expressing how incredulous he was at Claypool's blunder on Twitter.

Claypool explained his side of the story after the game. He partially accepted responsibility but also scolded offensive lineman Trai Turner for hitting the ball away from him. It didn't make up for his gaffe or make it more understandable in any way, though.
Talking trash as boldly as Slay did seems like a risky move but Slay, one of the best shutdown corners in the NFL, can certainly back up his words. The Eagles' stud defender, admittedly, isn't saying anything too crazy, though the directness with which he mocks Claypool is quite funny.
Slay chirping about Claypool's blunder from across Pennsylvania won't be the last time the Steelers' wide receiver hears about his ill-timed celebration. Philadelphia and Pittsburgh
The Eagles are on their bye week this week, so Slay will get the chance to observe and joke about other hilarious moments across the NFL this weekend.
