ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) -The NFL is keeping mum on the latest developments in the trash talking episode between Denver coach Josh McDaniels and San Diego linebacker Shaun Phillips.
Phillips said after the Chargers’ victory at Denver on Nov. 22 that McDaniels had sneered “We own you!” during warmups. McDaniels repeatedly declined to tell his side of the story but in the face of mounting criticism, he told ESPN over the weekend that Phillips had confronted and taunted him.
The coach said his response was meant to imply that McDaniels’ former team, the Patriots, had always made Phillips eat his words.
Both have said they are sorry, although McDaniels indicated the Broncos asked the NFL to look into the encounter, according to ESPN. League spokesman Greg Aiello told The Associated Press on Monday, “We are not commenting on the report.”
