Titans receiver Nate Washington also took exception to the play of New Orleans safety Roman Harper, who was called for a facemask on a tackle of Damian Williams that kept Williams out of the end zone after a 54-yard catch-and-run. "Honestly, he's a dirty player," Washington said. "We watched film on him, he's dirty. And I don't appreciate it, I'm going to step out in public and say it: He's dirty. "That was dirty what he did, it's unfortunate that he grabbed the facemask -- at the same time you don't walk over a guy and nudge him with your knee. You don't do that. That's dirty. And honestly, that's a dirty player, flat out. This is not just one game. He's been doing it all season. And I'm tired of it. I hope the league did something about it." Washington said his coach -- it was unclear if it was Munchak, offensive coordinator Chris Palmer or receiver coach Dave Ragone -- warned the Titans that the Saints would be chippy and dirty. Harper was the main player used as an example, Washington said.

I actually think I heard whistles during the game a few times that weren't from the officials. But, to lay accusations on another team like that is ridiculous. There were over 60,000 people there.
