There has never been any shortage of bad blood between the Tennessee Titans and Baltimore Ravens throughout their storied rivalry, and that bad blood popped back up in Week 6, both during and after their game.
During the game, Ravens wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. didn’t take kindly to a tackle attempt by Titans defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons on Beckham’s teammate and fellow wide receiver, Zay Flowers.
That prompted Beckham to knee Simmons after the play, which led to Big Jeff retaliating by shoving Beckham to the ground, although there was some acting involved. Ultimately, Simmons was flagged but Beckham was not.
But the beef didn’t stop there.

Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey revealed on his “Punch Line” podcast that Simmons was waiting for OBJ after the game, leading to the two getting into an altercation that led to security being called.
It isn’t clear if punches were thrown, but Beckham at least got his hands on Simmons’ face mask, according to Humphrey, who explains what he saw in the clip below.

While Simmons’ frustration with Beckham’s cheap shot is understandable, he’s got to do a better job of keeping his cool. Drawing penalties and trying to fight opposing players after games is the exact definition of “dumb (stuff) that hurts the team,” as head coach Mike Vrabel would say.
