The game between the Tennessee Titans and New York Jets was dubbed the Toilet Bowl because both teams are very low in the standings but during the game some crazy sh*t happened. Jurrell Casey punches Geno Smith in the face during the third quarter. That one punch triggered a huge brawl between the Jets and Titans and Jets were upset Casey wasn’t ejected from the game.
During the break, Smith and Casey were jawing. Casey took a swing, which prompted offensive linemen Mangold,Breno Giacomini and Willie Colon to rush to Smith’s defense. Some players came off the Jets’ bench to create a mob of players at midfield.
Only one penalty flag was thrown on the play: unnecessary roughness on Casey. The fight sparked the Jets, and they rallied to beat the Titans 16-11 at LP Field in a sloppy game between two teams that began the day with 2-11 records.
Smith refused to say what he told Casey to precipitate the fight and insisted it was just routine trash talking – “just football stuff.” Pressed, Smith asked, “Is this an investigation?”
Casey apologized to his team and admitted he lost his cool.
“I just have to control my emotions in that situation,” he said in refusing to reveal what Smith said to set him off. “You know, words don’t hurt you. He didn’t put his hands on me, and I shouldn’t have put my hands on him.”
