Cam Akers addresses taunt in message to Budda Baker after game

Cam Akers addressed his taunt of Budda Baker in a message sent for the Arizona Cardinals safety after Monday night’s playoff game.

Akers was tackled by Baker late in the third quarter of Monday night’s NFC wild-card game on a run in the red zone. Baker dove headfirst at Akers and suffered a concussion while making the tackle.

Akers was fired up and/or ticked off after the play and taunted Baker, who was on the ground (video here).

Some Cardinals players were upset with Akers over the way he was acting considering their teammate was lying on the field with an injury.

After the game, Akers shared his well wishes for Baker. He also said he didn’t know Baker was hurt at the time he did the taunt.
