While much of the talk preceding this game centered around previous altercations between Andre Johnson and Cortland Finnegan, this time the Texans needed to be separated from one another. Houston's Antonio Smith got into a shoving match with Tennessee offensive lineman Leroy Harris, and Texans' linebacker Brian Cushing came over to break it up. Other Texans became involved and Cushing's helmet came off, resulting in a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. The dysfunctional Texans fell to the Titans, 31-17.
