Titans' Taylor Lewan on J.J. Watt: 'No one is calling for blood after a fake selfie'

Tennessee Titans quarterback Zach Mettenberger got a kick out of Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt's fake selfie celebration, even though it came at his expense. 

"I just kind of laughed it off,'' Mettenberger said, according to Jim Wyatt of The Tennessean. "What can I say? The guy is the best defensive player in the NFL, there is nothing I can say to him. So I just need to keep progressing, keep working and we'll play them again."

Watt, who had two sacks and a forced fumble in Sunday's 30-16 victory over the Titans, said he was bothered by how active Mettenberger was on social media leading up to his first NFL start.

"I think it is hilarious,'' Titans offensive tackle Taylor Lewan said of the fake selfie. "I am not going to sit here and say, '(Dang) you, J.J.' I thought it was funny, it was well thought out. I am into that kind of comedy. I like well thought out funnies. The thing I don't like is (Zach) being sacked. We can't have that. … Hopefully the next time we play them we won't put him in a position to have more selfie pictures.

"But no one is calling for blood after a fake selfie."
