Huge fight breaks out in Broncos vs. Titans game (Video)
By John Buhler
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Harry Douglas hits Denver Broncos cornerback Chris Harris low. Then a fight between both teams breaks out in Nashville.
In a game where two teams are fighting for their playoff lives, one would expect things to be chippy between the Denver Broncos (8-4) and the Tennessee Titans (6-6).
Titans wide receiver Harry Douglas would go for a low chip block against Broncos cornerback Chris Harris Jr., which everyone on the Denver sideline took exception to. Aqib Talib took particular exception, attacking Douglas and initiating a brawl.
That hit sparked a brawl between the two teams.
This is a must-win game for both teams. Tennessee has to win to stay alive in the AFC South race. The Titans were swept in their season series with the Indianapolis Colts (6-6). Tennessee also dropped their previous meeting with the Houston Texans (6-6). Both of Tennessee’s rival are squaring in Indianapolis on Sunday afternoon.
Denver trails both the Kansas City Chiefs (10-3) and the Oakland Raiders (10-3) in the AFC West standings. The Broncos will likely have to make it into the 2016 AFC Playoffs as the No. 6 seed. A loss would bring teams like the Miami Dolphins, the Pittsburgh Steelers, and maybe an AFC South team into the serious wild card picture.
Tennessee took a 13-0 lead into halftime over the Broncos in Nashville. Denver needs this game as well, but Tennessee desperately needs this game. The Titans are coming off their Week 13 bye. They are well-rested and probably a little too fired up for their own good in this crucial Week 14 game.

Maybe riling up Harris was part of the plan for the Titans offense? Harris is arguably the most important player on the Denver defense. Getting him rattled could help get the Titans to victory on Sunday afternoon.
