Delanie Walker wanted more than a 15-yard penalty for Erik Walden.
The Titans tight end thinks the Colts linebacker should have been ejected from the Thursday night game for ripping his helmet off and then headbutting him.
“What got him riled up? I was whupping his butt, that’s what happened, and the cat couldn’t take it when he was getting whupped,’’ Walker told The Tennessean after the Colts’ 30-27 victory in which he had 10 catches for 91 yards and a touchdown.
“He got frustrated, and he should have been ejected for what he did. That’s bush league and that’s the type of stuff we don’t need in this league.”
Walden is expected to get fined and/or suspended Friday for his actions. Walker did not get a penalty, despite retaliating.
“I threw a punch at him; I’m not going to lie about that. It’s on film,’’ Walker said. “But that was just a reaction. You head butt me in the face because I am beating you? C’mon.”
