Titans cornerback Cortland Finnegan, who openly aspires to be the dirtiest player in the league, has managed to coax Texans receiver Andre Johnson into taking multiple swings at him.

And the normally mild-manner Johnson connected on at least one of them, after ripping off Finnegan’s helmet. Other players then intervened, and Titans coach Jeff Fisher was out on the field, trying to restore order.

Johnson has been ejected, along with Finnegan. But Johnson won this round.

The Texans continue to lead, 17-0, with less than seven minutes to play.

UPDATE: And here’s the video.
