Super Bowl champion Rodney Harrison came under fire Sunday night over his questions to Kansas City Chiefs star Chris Jones about New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson.

Wilson stunned the NFL world when he put together a solid game for the Jets and nearly led them to a comeback victory. However, Harrison’s questions to Jones drew ire from NFL players and fans.
