It’s been seven years since Ryan Clark last played in the NFL, but after watching the Chiefs defense on Sunday in Philadelphia, he roasted Kansas City on Twitter.

The Eagles piled up 452 yards and 30 first downs in the Chiefs’ 42-30 win.

Clark, a safety who played eight of his 13 NFL seasons with the Steelers, tweeted: “Gonna dust them off and go tryout for the Kansas City Chiefs’ defense.
