NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Taylor Lewan was fined $10,000 for his postgame interaction with Washington’s Josh Norman last week, when the Titans’ tackle mocked the Washington cornerback claiming he tried to injured Derrick Henry during the Titans win.
It’s Lewan’s second significant fine this month.
On Dec. 4 he was charged $26,739 for postgame interaction with officials following the Titans’ win over the Jets two days earlier.
Friday after practice Lewan told media in more detail what sparked the altercation. (I was not there.)

Washington coach Jay Gruden called it “bush league” while Mike Vrabel said, “It’s not my issue.”
Here was Norman’s response a couple days after the game:

-"Maximum disrespect, ultimate disrespect"
-Said he should've worried about blocking "We got young tackles & young ends... they ran through your face"
-Equated it to someone taking a "big, fat dump on your porch"#HTTR #TitanUp pic.twitter.com/FUtshvpHAb
