A New York Jets reporter criticized the team's former star safety in Jamal Adams after he allowed a touchdown against the Dallas Cowboys last Thursday.

SNY's Connor Hughes quoted the video on X, formerly Twitter, and captioned it "Yikes," which Adams did not take kindly.

Admittedly, Adams said he stooped "lower" to Hughes by zooming in on a photo of his wife and the word "Yikes" in a post of his own.

Adams got plenty of flack, but he has no regrets on his post, which was, ironically, deleted shortly after.

"When others go low, I go lower…" Adams told reporters Wednesday." "You can sit there and have regret. But I don’t live that way in my life."

"It’s always the athlete that crossed the line when he responds. But at the end of the day, disrespect is disrespect, however you want to take it," Adams also said. "So, I responded. I knew when I did hit that tweet, I wasn’t in it to win it. At the end of the day, it was to get him to understand, ‘Leave me the hell alone.’"

Adams says he and Hughes "never liked each other," dating back to his rookie year, and Hughes' post started a battle.
