John Harbaugh got into a heated pregame shouting match with the Titans players

Sunday’s Week 11 matchup between the Ravens and Titans was the first time the two teams had met since Tennessee’s upset win over Baltimore in last season’s AFC Divisional Round.

And, well, the Titans had no interest in taking an understated approach to their return to Baltimore. And the Ravens weren’t particularly pleased about that.

After the Tennessee players took the field from the tunnel, they congregated at midfield on the Ravens logo. Ravens coach John Harbaugh seemed to take offense with the apparent disrespect, and he went to midfield to confront the Titans.

That led to this lively shouting match between Harbaugh and Malcolm Butler, specifically.

The broadcast described the scene as a “skirmish,” but it was really Harbaugh being sensitive about the logo and shouting for a few seconds. The Titans players were separated and went back to their sideline.

All that over some paint on turf.
