Ravens coach John Harbaugh has acknowledged that receiver Derrick Mason and quarterback Joe Flacco had a heated exchange on Sunday, but he says it was no big deal.

“It’s been addressed,” Harbaugh said. “I talked to [Mason] about it after the game, talked to him about it in the locker room. It wasn’t anything serious that we had to work through, just make sure we’re on the same page and make sure Joe’s on the same page. Not too concerned about it.”

Mason was apparently upset with a pass that Flacco threw him, which Harbaugh said was more a sign of Mason’s competitiveness than anything else.

“Derrick over the years, he does a good job of focusing his passion because it shows up in his play,” Harbaugh said. “He plays passionately, and he plays very well. Joe’s got a passionate personality and you see it expressed in different ways. So, everybody does it in different ways.”
