Week 15 match-up between the Washington Commanders and the New York Giants wrapped up on a controversial note at FedEx Field. The Giants’ 20-12 triumph attracted lots of media attention, and celebrities like Kevin Durant called out the referees for not giving a PI call that seemingly looked like one. For his outburst, Giants’ rookie linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux gave a befitting reply.

Although the NBA superstar Kevin Durant plays for the Brooklyn Nets, he hasn’t been much loyal towards New York compared to his love for DC and vocalizing support for the Commanders. Just like anybody else, the veteran was watching the live broadcast of Week 15. And that’s when the entire drama unraveled.

During the late fourth quarter, Heinicke’s TD pass toward Curtis Samuel went incomplete. All thanks to Darnay Holmes’ involvement, who blocked the passes that somehow looked like interference.

However, no penalties were called, and the game ended in Giants’ favor. This incident supposedly irked Durant, who decided to take shots on social media. He shared a photoshopped image of Curtis Samuel-Holmes’s moment from the game and wished everyone happy holidays.

This post took no time to spread like a wildfire and caught the attention of rookie linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux. He decided to call out the veteran and wrote, “Come play Tight End”. Indeed, a win is a win, and Thibodeaux couldn’t tolerate anybody else pointing at the team.

The youngster had been phenomenal throughout the season. In this game, he recorded 12 tackles, one sack, one forced fumble, and an electric touchdown. Hence this game meant a lot to him, especially after playing a prominent role in the victory.

Durant’s inclination towards Commanders originated a long-time ago. While Dan Snyder’s franchise sale took rounds on the internet, the NBA star hopped in as a potential buyer, although he denied acknowledging such moves. Well, this time netizens couldn’t help themselves reacting to his comment.
