New Orleans cornerback Brandon Browner threw a fit in the locker room when a reporter asked about a play that happened in the first half of the Saints' 34-28 overtime loss to the Titans.
WWLTV's Lyons Yellin was asking Saints safety Jairus Byrd about the crazy Delanie Walker touchdown from early in the game where the ball bounced off of two Saints defenders and into Walker's hands. The Titans tight end then took the ball for a 62-yard touchdown.

Yellin said Byrd answered his questions, but afterward, Browner started shouting in Yellin's direction. Browner was upset Yellin was focusing on one play, so Yellin asked him if he'd like to talk about the entire game. At this point, Browner became "enraged," started saying profanities and eventually had to be held back by the Saints PR staff and teammates.
At least three teammates told him to stop and one pushed him into the shower area, told him to chill out before he calmed down.

"There was no run in, I said what I said," he posted on his social media account.
He added that he agreed with Yellin's story of events, but wanted to say he was not restrained as other reports said. "I never charged [you] or attempted to. But I accept I was wrong today," Browner said on Twitter.
They got a job to make a story, the game went into OT. That's your story right there. One play don't make a game. Next question
— Brandon Browner (@bbrowner27) November 8, 2015The Saints dropped to 4-5, so Browner's frustrations were likely a result of just coming off of a bad loss in overtime at home. Still, he can't lash out at reporters, especially since he's a team captain.
