Fox Sports commentator Greg Olsen was not backing down after what he said during the Commanders-Eagles game on Sunday.

Olsen, who lost his job on FOX’s premier team to Tom Brady this year, came under fire for his performance in the fixture as the Commanders snatched an important victory, beating Philly 36-33 in a remarkable comeback.

The Eagles lost Jalen Hurts pretty early in the game, with the quarterback exiting with a suspected concussion. Fans felt like Olsen did not give Philly enough credit for fighting on without the Pro Bowler and didn’t factor in how big of a loss he was during his commentary.

He was also accused of being partial to Washington.

Greg Olsen Explains Himself

Greg Olsen took to social media to defend his analysis after going off the air, giving Commanders rookie QB Jayden Daniels some flowers in the process.

“Final couple thoughts on todays game- Hurts was NOT knocked out of the game by a dirty hit. His head hit the ground Losing Hurts of course altered the game as we covered AT LEGNTH,” he wrote.

“(ex, Lack of QB sneak option on 4th down, WAS all but ignoring the pass to load up on Saquon, change of coverage style, it was all laid out in detail) If you manage to score 33 points, force 5 takeaways and have the best defense in the NFL, then everyone should recognize just how good Jayden Daniels was today.”

Olsen also poked fun at the Eagles fan base in another tweet.

“Eagles fans are the best!” he added. “They lose for the first time in months after giving up 36 points and we didn’t make enough excuses for them.”

Way to rub it in there…
