Tennessee Titans defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons is no stranger to being accused of dirty play, something we’ve heard from multiple opposing players during the course of his young career.
And now we can add some Cincinnati Bengals players to that list.
After the Week 12 game against the Titans, Bengals center Ted Karras was quite animated as he left the field, dropping F-bombs galore as he exited (you can check out the video here, but warning: NSFW language).
Karras was asked about his boisterous exit from the field and he said it had to do with Simmons and the Titans taking cheap shots at the knees of Bengals offensive linemen while the team was kneeling the ball to close the 20-16 win over Tennessee.
“It was Jeffery Simmons,” Karras said, per Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com. “That’s their right, but usually protocol [is not to do that] and we have the right to let them know how we feel about that.”
Bengals tackle La’el Collins also chimed in about the alleged cheap shots.
“The linemen were a little mad we got after them,” Collins said. “They were cheap-shotting when we were taking a knee. We were saying, ‘game’s over, y’all lost. Don’t take cheap shot at our guys.'”
