Eagles' CJ Gardner-Johnson says his car was stolen after playoff win over Giants


Philadelphia, or the “City of Brotherly Love” as some call it, is not exactly living up to its name for one NFL player. 

Eagles safety CJ Gardner-Johnson, who was traded by the New Orleans Saints in August, took to social media on Monday to share that his car had been stolen.

“I know exactly who took my car,” Gardner-Johnson could be heard saying in the video. “I know exactly who stole my s—, bro. Yeah, don’t worry about it, we got y’all on camera.”

What really stuck out to the third-year safety was that the theft seemingly took place after the Eagles’ 38-7 rout of the New York Giants in the divisional round on Saturday.

“Wow. Wow, that’s how y’all gettin down in Philly?” 

While Gardner-Johnson claims to have footage of the burglary on camera, his focus will no doubt be on Sunday’s NFC Championship game against the red-hot San Francisco 49ers.
