Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow got into victory formation and took a knee. As he did so, the Tennessee Titans defense, specifically Jeffery Simmons wasn't happy about the game's outcome. Simmons pushed Cincinnati Bengals center Ted Karras, throwing him to the ground. Karras walked off the field and yelled his grievances about Jeffery Simmons and the Titans.

Simmons was later fined $11,139 by the National Football League for shoving Karras at the end of the game. Just days before the two teams met again this season, Karras was asked about a re-match against the Titans. He said the NFL took care of it by issuing a fine, so he wasn't concerned.
