Browns, Titans beef over dangerous punt-return block

Steve Mitchell / USA TODAY Sports

A blindside block from Tennessee Titans running back Antonio Andrews on Cleveland Browns safety Jordan Poyer has caused a stir.

Andrews put Poyer in the hospital - and on injured reserve - with the punt-return hit on Sunday, and later bragged by posting the play to his private Instagram account with the caption, "Relentless."

The post - and the hit - didn't sit well with Poyer and teammate Terrelle Pryor.

"For me, when I first saw it it kind of angered me because to hit a guy blindside, if you're going head up with a man face to face and he sees you, you see him, all right, cool,'' Pryor told reporters, according to Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com. "But if you're a special teams guy and you're popping that stuff on there like you're some type of super hero or something just because you're hitting a guy blindsided and you think that's cool, that's where the problem comes in.

"So I think he should stay to his special teams and what he does and don't post stuff when a man's not looking and taking a hit like that."

Andrews responded to Poyer's and Pryor's remarks, denying any wrongdoing.
