Tennessee Titans star defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons ripped into those who burglarized his home while playing against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.
There were “at least six suspects” who broke into Simmons’ home in Nashville, which came shortly after 1 p.m. 19, the Metro Nashville Police Department told ESPN.
That was the exact time frame the Titans faced the 49ers in the Bay Area.

“What if any of my family members were in my house??” Simmons posted on social media while showing security camera footage of the burglars trying to get into his home. “All the materialistic things – you can have, but this is crazy!”
Simmons also called the burglars “f—ing cowards,” though he was complimented by Metro Nashville PD.

“I want to express my sincere appreciation to the Metro Nashville Police Department and the Titans’ security team for their professionalism and quick response,” Simmons said in a statement. “Their dedication to ensuring the safety of our entire Nashville community does not go unnoticed. I remain grateful for God’s protection and grace.”
The suspects allegedly gained entry to Simmons’ home “after breaking window glass,” while “several items were taken” in the process.
It is unclear exactly what was taken from Simmons’ home.

Meanwhile, Simmons was able to find the end zone despite the loss to the 49ers, so a good personal performance came to a screeching halt when he found out the news.
But unfortunately, Simmons isn’t the only NFL star to have been burglarized while playing a game.
Kansas City Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce made it happen last season, as did Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow. All of these burglaries were in connection with a South American theft ring that specifically targeted NFL and NBA players.

Cleveland Browns rookie Shedeur Sanders also saw $200,000 worth of property taken from his residence while playing the Baltimore Ravens earlier this season.
The Titans’ security team said it is “actively working” with local police to recover the stolen items.
