NFL-'Dirty' hit leaves Bronco seeking retribution against Titan

Dec 11 ( Reuters) - A low hit by Tennessee Titans receiver Harry Douglas on Sunday left the Denver Broncos fuming, with at least one player seeking retribution for what he considered a "dirty" play.

Emotions boiled over into a multi-player melee after Douglas lowered his helmet to take out Denver's Chris Harris by the knees during the second quarter of the National Football League ( NFL) game in Nashville.

Though Harris escaped with a minor injury, he did not hesitate to express his opinion of Douglas.

"Never had a guy try to end my career like that," Harris said, according to the Denver Post. "That was dirty."

Team-mate Aqib Talib was still seething when he spoke to reporters in the locker room post-game.

"It was a dirty play by a sorry player," Talib said of Douglas.

"He didn't do nothing coming into this game. He didn't catch no passes ... He got the same agent as me so when I see his ass in Atlanta I'm going to beat his ass."

Douglas was not penalized by the officials, but could be fined by the NFL.

Tennessee won the game 13-10 to put the Super Bowl champion Broncos on the brink of elimination from playoff contentions. (Reporting by Andrew Both in Cary, North Carolina; editing by Amlan Chakraborty)
