The New York Giants beat the Cleveland Browns 27-13 on Sunday, but Browns receiver Terrelle Pryor got the last laugh.
For reasons unknown, after the game Giants cornerback Janoris Jenkins criticized Pryor on Twitter.
In since deleted tweets, Jenkins said Pryor “sucks” and caught passes only because the Giants were in zone coverage. Jenkins then tweeted directly at Pryor, calling him a “s— eater” and again saying he “sucks.”
Instead of taking the bait, Pryor had an even better reaction.
You are a great corner. Solid defender! You played a solid game. God Bless !! Good luck rest of year https://t.co/Lomh8ke4YW

When someone on Twitter asked Pryor if Jenkins is a top-three cornerback, Pryor said "easily," and that Jenkins is worth "every dime" of the five-year, $62 million deal he signed with the Giants this offseason.
It's unclear why Jenkins went after Pryor. Other than some pregame chatter about the matchup, there didn't appear to be any on-field conflicts during the game. Pryor finished the game with six catches for 131 yards, and although his team lost, it seems he got the better of Jenkins overall.
