Marlon Humphrey: Odell Beckham Jr., Jeffery Simmons Fought After Ravens vs. Titans

Adam WellsOct 18, 2023

Baltimore Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey said Odell Beckham Jr. and Tennessee Titans defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons got into a fight after Sunday's game between the AFC rivals.

Speaking on the Punch Line Podcast, Humphrey explained he heard someone yelling for a security guard because Beckham and Simmons were "like fighting" with each other on the field following the Ravens' 24-16 win in London.

There was an incident during the game in which Simmons dove at the knee of Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers, who was already wrapped up by two Titans defenders and his forward progress appeared to have been stopped.

Beckham got involved after the play by appearing to knee Simmons, who retaliated by throwing a punch at the three-time Pro Bowler. The officials called a personal foul on Simmons at the end of the play.

According to Humphrey's description of the postgame situation, Simmons "wanted the fade" and actively sought out Beckham as a result of being flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct.

Simmons told reporters after the game the Titans "need to figure out the guys who are going to fight" for the team to express his displeasure about their loss.

"He's chasing down a play, he's tired, I watched him look at the play and then look at Zay's legs and try and dive on them," Beckham told reporters on Wednesday. "I just didn't like that. I'm going to protect him. This is my guy. This is my little bro.

"I love (Flowers) to death and I'm always going to have his back period," he added. "If that leads me to trouble, it is what it is. I just didn't like that. That's all it was. Other than that, it was football. We play football."

Flowers didn't appear to suffer any injury on the play. The rookie receiver was on the field for 89 percent of Baltimore's offensive snaps in the game. He caught his first career touchdown pass two plays after the hit from Simmons.

The Ravens are off to a 4-2 start this season after their victory in Week 6. The offense has had some hiccups along the way, but the defense has been terrific allowing the fourth-fewest points per game in the NFL (15.2).

Tennessee has lost four of its first six games, including back-to-back games against the Ravens and Indianapolis Colts. The offense has been held under 20 points in each of the team's four losses.

Simmons finished the game with two solo tackles. Beckham was targeted four times, catching two passes for 34 yards.

The Ravens will host the Detroit Lions (5-1) on Sunday. The Titans are on a bye before taking on the Atlanta Falcons (3-3) at Nissan Stadium in Week 8.
