NASHVILLE — This version of the Joe Staley Youth Jersey Broncos has lost nine games since Gary Kubiak arrived prior to the 2015 season. Never has their locker room been as spittin’ mad as it was Sunday.
The match that lit their short fuse had little to do with Tennessee’s 13-10 win at Nissan Stadium.
During the first half of an exceptionally physical game, Titans wide receiver Harry Douglas threw his body into the right knee of Broncos star cornerback Chris Harris Jr., who fell to the turf and was helped off the field before later returning to the game. The play was almost dead — and was run to the opposite side of the field — when Harris endured what he called “the dirtiest play I’ve ever seen in my life.” Harris left the Sylvester Williams Womens Jersey locker room and boarded the team bus without putting on his dress suit, saying he was “too sore” to get dressed again. Instead, he wore a hoodie, sweatpants and a look that would frighten an MMA fighter into submission.
“All their receivers are trash,” Harris told The Gazette. “That’s why they come out here in a goal-line offense.”
Harris, who sustained a torn ACL in January 2014, said he didn’t believe the injury is serious. That, along with Trevor Siemian’s sharp performance, were about the only bright spots on a gloom-and-doomed Broncos Sunday.
"Cowardice," linebacker Shane Ray called the Douglas play.
On the snap after Douglas' hit on Harris, Broncoshttp://www.authenticcowboyssale.com/shop-by-players-larry-allen-jer... cornerback Aqib Talib took matters into his own hands, shoving Douglas and igniting a fight that spilled onto the Tennessee sideline.
“I’m gonna beat his (butt)” upon their next encounter, Talib said afterward, adding he and Douglas share the same agent.
Harris said Douglas “better be fined” for the incident.
“I’m a tough player. I’m a gritty player,” Douglas told reporters in the Titans locker room, according to ESPN.com. “I’m not a dirty player, no matter what anybody says.”
“The No Fly Zone” did its part in a game that puts the Broncos on the brink of playoff extinction. Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota completed six passes for 88 yards. Siemian was 35 of 51 for 334 yards and a touchdown.
There’s an outside shot the Broncos and Titans could meet again, in the AFC playoffs, but the teams are not scheduled to play again next season.
“They were all doing dirty stuff. Their whole offensive line was dirty,” Denver lineman Derek Wolfe said. “I was getting grabbed by my (injured) elbow and http://www.authenticcowboysstore.com/shop-by-players-darren-mcfadde... yanked by my elbow brace and pulled to the ground. That’s obviously the team they are. They’re dirty. We combatted that. If we have to have a bench-clearing brawl and we have to fight — if I have to give you my address and you come see me in the offseason — we will.”
