It's nice to see that Golden Tate is taking the Giants' latest loss, their worst of the season, so well.

The veteran receiver had a late-night tweet for Eagles defensive back Darius Slay following Big Blue's 22-21 loss in Philly on Thursday. The subject: "Call of Duty" streaming.

Slay seemed mildly concerned.

Tate and Slay, it must be noted, were teammates with the Lions from 2014-18 until Detroit traded Tate to the Eagles in the middle of the '18 season.

Tate had just one catch against his former team Thursday, but it was a 39-yard touchdown from Daniel Jones to give the Giants (1-6) their first points of the game. Slay was not covering on the play.

Slay got the last laugh after Philly's offense, led by quarterback Carson Wentz, finished two touchdown drives late in the fourth quarter to erase an 11-point deficit.

Twitter seemed more upset that Tate punched the goal post after the TD. Of course, Jalen Ramsey was brought into the chat for that.
