Philadelphia Eagles running back Jay Ajayi is already getting a taste of the local media spinning comments into a controversy.

Ajayi had just five carries in the Eagles' 31-3 win over the Chicago Bears, which was the second most among the running backs for the day. One week after getting just seven carries against the Cowboys, Ajayi was asked about the lack of touches he's been getting in the Eagles offense.

This is a harmless answer.

"My role is to run the plays that the coaches call. That's what I'v been doing," Ajayi said. "I'm just running the play that the coaches call. I'm happy with my role."

On NBC Sports Philadelphia's Eagles Post Game Live, Ray Didinger expressed his thoughts on Ajayi's comments.

"He's obviously miffed," Didinger said. "But if he's got an issue with the touches, this team was winning before you got here. We're happy you're here, but this team was winning before. My advice would be to 'shut up and tote the ball.'

Ajayi saw the comments and expressed his opinion on turning them into controversy.

Good for Ajayi. This was a non-issue for a player that has 20 carries for 196 yards in his three games with the Eagles.

This controversy (if you wish to call it that) is over.
