After getting ripped to shreds by Marcus Mariota, Saints cornerback Brandon Browner ripped reporters in the locker room following the Saints' loss to the Titans on Sunday. According to The Times-Picayune, Browner interrupted an interview with safety Jairus Byrd and began yelling profanities at the group of media members, calling one reporter a "crude term."
As Katherine Terrell reports, the question that upset Browner was about Delanie Walker's incredible touchdown catch for the Titans, which involved a serious misplay by Byrd and cornerback Keenan Lewis.
Browner just went nuts on a reporter in the locker room, screaming about how the game went to OT and they wanted to ask about one play

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.

The reporter wasn't even talking to Browner. He was asking Byrd a question and Browner overheard

One more Browner note, as was backing across the locker room, he screamed expletives at the reporter, called him a punk, among other things

Though teammates were believed to have calmed down Browner, the outburst wasn't limited to the locker room, as Browner continued his tirade on Twitter.
@Kat_Terrell @Joel_Lutz the game went into overtime and he asked Bryd the same questions 3x. About a play that happen in the 1st half.

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

With the loss, the Saints dropped to 4-5 on the season. After allowing four passing touchdowns to Mariota, the Saints defense has now been gutted for 10 passing touchdowns in the past two games.
As The Times-Picayune points out, this isn't the first time Browner has been involved in a verbal altercation with reporters. After the Saints loss to the Eagles last month, Browner got into a "heated exchange with a reporter."
