EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The New York Giants' secondary was the center of controversy Wednesday, for the second week in a row.

At an autograph signing Tuesday night, cornerbacks Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and Prince Amukamara took a picture with a Giants fan wearing a Philadelphia Eagles jersey featuring "SUPERBOWLS" where the player's last name typically appears, and "0" as the number -- a reference to the fact that the Eagles have never won a Super Bowl.

Rodgers-Cromartie and Amukamara are both making the shape of a "0" with their hands in the photo:

The image caused enough of a stir that Rodgers-Cromartie was compelled to respond via Twitter, prior to practice:

I meant nothing by the photo, I was just doing what a fan asked me to do, truly didn't mean any disrespect at all — DRC (@drc_two1) October 8, 2014

And both players fielded questions about the photo after practice. The Giants (3-2) are preparing to face the Eagles (4-1) Sunday night in a key NFC East matchup.

"We were just two guys taking a picture -- we didn’t think nothing of it," Rodgers-Cromartie said Wednesday. "Definitely not being disrespectful towards anybody. Just meeting the requirements of a fan -- he wanted us to take a picture, and we took it."

Rodgers-Cromartie played for the Eagles in 2011 and 2012, and said he received texts from a few former teammates about the photo.

"I ain't got no Super Bowls either," he said. "I can understand why they would take it [as disrespectful], but it definitely wasn't meant to be that way."

Amukamara does have a Super Bowl ring, but his take was the same as his teammate's.

"It's just one of those things where we’re just trying to make the fans happy," Amukamara said. "They make a request, and we're not even thinking about it."

"[Disrespect] definitely wasn't our intention," he added. "If we really wanted to say something, we would definitely say something in front of the cameras and microphones."

Earlier in the day, Eagles running back LeSean McCoy was asked about the photo on a conference call with New York reporters.

"Whatever. I don't know what to say about it. I guess it's entertainment? I'm not sure," McCoy said. "We haven't won a Super Bowl. That's why we're playing the game now, to try to win one."

The photo may not have riled up McCoy, but it did get the attention of Giants coach Tom Coughlin.

"Coach Coughlin's all about, 'Talk is cheap, play the game,'" Amukamara said. "He felt like we were talking, so we just had to explain ourselves."

Last week Amukamara ended up on the back pages of the New York tabloids after teammate Antrel Rolle said he was playing better this season because of his newlywed status.

Sounds like this "scandal" may evaporate a little more quickly, though.
