The San Francisco 49ers and Philadelphia Eagles have found themselves in the midst of a wild back-and-forth following the Super Bowl.
The social media feud began when 49ers guard Jon Feliciano apologized to his offensive lineman teammate Spencer Burford for accidentally throwing him under the bus with a “hungover” post.
Burford saw Feliciano’s post on X seemingly blaming him for a crucial mistake in overtime, prompting the OL to express his disbelief that he’s being dissed on social media after the Super Bowl 58 loss.
In response, Feliciano said, “I know you know all, so [yo]u should know that’s not Colton’s guy….” When the critic saw the feedback, they asked: “So who’s guy was it? Although not his guy, a quick chop to disrupt his pass rush route could’ve given Purdy just enough time to get a pass off. o-line and special teams have been this teams weakness all year. Great run blockers but get smoked on the pass.”
That’s when things got interesting, as Feliciano seemingly threw another teammate under the bus when he said that “a quick chop is not needed if the guy that was supposed to block him, blocks him.”
Burford, who came in to replace Feliciano after he got injured in the fourth quarter, was supposed to be the player to block Jones and lessen the pressure on Purdy. And so when he noticed that the 49ers’ starting guard indirectly blamed him, he couldn’t stay silent.
“Sheesh…I open up my app to this…get well soon bro…” Burford wrote.
It’s certainly bizarre to see Jon Feliciano defend a teammate at the expense of another. With that said, when he realized what he just said (and after Spencer Burford’s response), the San Francisco 49ers vet quickly apologized.
Feliciano emphasized he didn’t mean to pin the blame on another teammate before saying that he was “hungover” and didn’t think of what he was saying.
“I’m sorry bro. I woke up hungover and being a b**ch. In trying to have ones back I hurt [yo]u. It’s f-Ed up and I apologize. You got nothing but greatness ahead of you. I’m sorry bro.”
San Francisco 49ers OL Jon Feliciano Responds To Jalen Carter’s Shocking Claim With Eye-Popping Accusation
So it was a feud between two teammates who were hurting from the Super Bowl loss, until Eagles DL Jalen Carter chimed in saying Feliciano was talking trash “on his dead teammate” during their Week 13 game.
Carter noticed Feliciano was in a public spat with his teammate, and made a point to make it public that he was the same player that used the tragic deaths from the Georgia football team during his senior year as trash talking ammo.
Jon Feliciano acknowledged what Jalen Carter said was true, but added more context and an eye-popping accusation.

“Dude told me he was gonna murder me and my kids would never see me again 3x because I was laughing at him after getting a flag,” the San Francisco 49ers OL wrote on X. “I said I believe you, you got a body. Then he continued for weeks posting my fam and reaching out to my friends. If you dish it you gotta be able to take it. He talked about my kids, I made that reference. I lost a friend to an accident to so I understand why he was upset. I did feel bad thought about apologizing until he started posting on his IG then I had to get the NFL involved.”
While this began as a feud between two teammates on the San Francisco 49ers, it looks like there may be a new rivalry brewing in the NFC.
