In the Philadelphia Eagles' 33-27 Week 9 overtime win over the Dallas Cowboys, offensive linemen Lane Johnson and Jason Kelce kept defensive end Greg Hardy in check.

Both Johnson and Kelce admitted after the game that they used any chance they had to show Hardy how they felt about him.

“Anytime I got a chance to put a little extra mustard on a block, I tried," Johnson told reporters, per the Philadelphia Daily Inquirer. “He wasn’t all that emotional in the game. I don’t know if the stuff got to him on the news, but he seemed out of it a little bit."

Johnson also took a shot at Hardy's effort level on the field, referencing an observation he made during Sunday night's game and throughout his time studying Hardy.

“I felt like I faced better than him,” Johnson said. “He’s a guy who, when things are going good, he’s great. When things aren’t going good, he’ll shut it down.”

Kelce, the Eagles center, had some strong words for Hardy after the game.

"There are three (types) of people I have zero respect for in this world," Kelce told reporters per the Philadelphia Daily Inquirer. "It's people who hit women, people who molest children, and rapists. I'm glad he didn't have a good day and ... I don't know. I think it's a joke a guy like that is able to play this quickly."

Hardy recorded two total tackles and one sack, but he also had two penalties and was largely held out of the Eagles' backfield on both passing and running plays.
