Denver Broncos defensive players called Tennessee Titans wide receiver Harry Douglas dirty after a controversial hit in the Titans' 13-10 win Sunday.

Douglas took a low shot at Broncos cornerback Chris Harris’ knee in the second quarter. One play later, fellow Broncos cornerback Aqib Talib started a brawl when he tackled Douglas on the Titans’ sideline. Talib received a personal foul, but clearly did not regret it.

“It was a dirty play by a sorry player,” Talib told reporters after the game. “He tried to do something dirty, so that’s why I’m going to beat his ass.”

Harris wrote on Twitter that he believed Douglas was trying to “end my career” and that he hoped the Titans receiver would be fined.

Harris, who suffered an ACL injury in 2013, was able to return to the game.

“Thank God for covering me cuz I thought my knee was gone,” Harris wrote.

Douglas defended himself when asked about the hit and the criticism of it.

“I’m a tough player. I’m a gritty player,” Douglas told reporters. “I’m not a dirty player no matter what anybody says.”
