QB Michael Penix Jr. Involved In Massive Brawl Between Titans & Falcons Players During Joint Practice

The Tennessee Titans and Atlanta Falcons are not getting along very well.

Atlanta will play its second preseason game against Tennessee on Friday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. It seems both teams couldn’t wait until that day fr things to get crazy on the field.

A second joint practice between the Tennessee Titans and Atlanta Falcons on Aug. 13 in Flowery Branch, Georgia, meant tensions would be high.

A major scuffle between the two teams began with a quarterback getting touched.

Quarterback Michael Penix Jr., wearing a red jersey that signifies that he should never be touched, was taken down by a Tennessee player. That is a huge no-no in practice.

It caused a massive fight and a lot of yelling.

Tennessee’s No. 1 defense and Atlanta’s No. 1 offense went at it as it was reported that defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons and defensive back Julius Wood were among the players whose helmets were ripped off, while Falcons star receiver Drake London also had his helmet removed and was yelling at Titans players.
