Eli Apple was having the time of his life on Twitter two weeks ago. Now the shoe is on the other foot.
The Cincinnati Bengals cornerback was one of the heroes of the AFC championship game when he tackled Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill at the goal line at the end of the first half, a vital play in what would turn out to be a 27-24 overtime win.
Apple did not hesitate to make the Chiefs hear about it on Twitter after the game, calling Hill a "baby" while tagging him on a quote tweet of the play and offering Super Bowl tickets to Hill and his teammate Mecole Hardman.
