Two former Patriots players faced off against each other in Sunday night's primetime game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Atlanta Falcons.
After being released by the Patriots over the summer, wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster returned to the Chiefs. And after stalled contract negotiations, New England traded linebacker Matthew Judon to the Falcons.
However, it was Smith-Schuster who walked away happy after the latest game, scoring his first touchdown of the season. Meanwhile, Judon and the Falcons left upset, as they couldn't defeat the reigning Super Bowl champions.
And while filming a video to celebrate the win with Chiefs Kingdom, Judon came over and had some fun with his former teammate.
He knocked the phone right out of Smith-Schuster's hand right in the middle of the wide receiver's sentence.
What an interesting reunion for the two.

The Kansas City Chiefs brought back veteran WR JuJu Smith-Schuster after he spent a year in New England.
After a disappointing and injury-marred season with the Patriots, Smith-Schuster is coming off one of the least productive seasons of his seven-year NFL career. The Chiefs, however, are confident that he can slot right back in and be a productive member of the team's offense.
The 27-year-old is expected to be available to play for Week 1 of the 2024 NFL regular season against the Baltimore Ravens. That's good news for Kansas City given that Hollywood Brown isn't expected to be available to play due to injury.
What exactly does Smith-Schuster bring to the table in his return to Kansas City? Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes discussed the topic with media members on Sunday.
"It's super exciting," Mahomes said of Smith-Schuster's return. "I mean, just the person, being in the locker room, being in the meeting rooms, he gets it, man. He gets how to be a pro, and then he works hard. I mean, he's out here, he looks great. And so I'm excited for him, just to continue to learn the little things that we changed in the year that he wasn't there. But, I mean, he's picked up a lot of the stuff really fast. It's good to have that type of guy in that receiver room."
Smith-Schuster recorded 78 receptions for 933 yards and three touchdowns in Kansas City in 2022.
