Browns wide receiver Greg Little accused Baltimore Ravens safety James Ihedigbo of choking him during a pileup in Cleveland’s 24-18 win Sunday.

After a running play in the first quarter, Little found himself on his back at the bottom of a stack of players. He said Ihedigbo, who was on top of him, put his hands around his neck and choked him.

Little was able to free himself from Ihedigbo’s grasp, popped to his feet and then flung Ihedigbo’s helmet, drawing a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.

“I know the ref was saying, ‘Let go of his face mask,’ but he was choking me, so I’m not,” Little said.
