Pat Surtain responds to Jerry Jeudy’s comments about the Broncos

Jerry Jeudy said he wants to whip the Broncos in the buttock on Monday. This is how Pat Surtain responded to those comments.

Jerry Jeudy wants to prove a point when he returns to Empower Field at Mile High on Monday.

After being traded from the Denver Broncos to the Cleveland Browns this spring, Jeudy is now set to face his old team on Monday Night Football on Dec. 2. Ahead of the Week 13 showdown, Jeudy said in an interview, “I just want to go back up there and whip their ass.”

“That sounds like my dawg,” Broncos receiver Courtland Sutton said with a smile when told about Jeudy’s comment. “He’s a competitor, man.”

It remains to be seen if Denver will have star cornerback Pat Surtain follow Jeudy on Monday, but the two should face off for at least some of the game. Surtain was asked about Jeudy’s comments ahead of the showdown.

“I think he’s going to be fired up, obviously this was his past team,” Surtain said. “I think he’s going to have a lot of juice going, a lot of juice flowing. That’s just the type of player he is. He’s very competitive and he’s going to be looking to get after it. I’m looking forward to the matchup. It’s going to be a great matchup.”

Jeudy clearly has beef with the organization, but not necessarily his former teammates. He spoke glowingly about Surtain during his media availability in Cleveland last week. Jeudy praised Surtain for his smarts, length and speed, and he said Monday will be a fun matchup.

“I know Pat since [inaudible], been competing against him my whole life,” Jeudy said. “So if I’m going to get the opportunity to go against him on this big stage, it’s going to be fun.”

Monday’s game will be nationally televised on ESPN. Playing at home, the Broncos are considered favorites in Week 13.
