Arizona Cardinal safety Budda Baker was criticized for comments he made during Sunday's NFC Championship game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Washington Commanders. The former booked their ticket to Super Bowl LIX after crushing Jayden Daniels & Co. 55-23.
In a post on X, Baker referenced a 50-piece chicken nugget, for the 55 points and then said sweet and sour sauce to describe the effort put in by the Commanders.
"Sheeeesh! 50 piece chicken McNugget please with sweet and sour sauce," Baker wrote on X in reference to the NFC title game.

Needless to say, the comments were filled with NFL fans trolling the Arizona Cardinals safety and his team's lack of success. The main theme revolved around fans reminding Budda Baker that his Cardinals defense allowed Daniels and the Commanders to score 41 points early in the season.
Washington Commanders fans even went as far as to remind Baker that their starters were pulled during the 42-14 game due to the large deficit.
"I know you not talking lol"-one fan on X said
"We pulled our starters in the 3rd against you. (laughing emoji)"-one fan reminded Baker
"Lmao you should sit this one out."-suggested another
Comments from fans continued as they said the Cardinals' safety didn't even make it to the playoffs and shouldn't be allowed to comment on other teams. The Cardinals finished the season 8-9 and third in the NFC West division rankings.
"That's fair, that's fair.... say, how many playoff games did you play this season? Just curious."-another fan inquired
"Literally the worst teams be talking."-one fan laughed
"You are watching from the couch. Pipe down."-one person stated
