Tennessee Titans star Julius Chestnut accuses opponent of threatening to ‘kill’ him
NFL punter Logan Cooke accused of threatening to ‘kill’ rival player
- Tennessee Titans running back Julius Chestnut alleged that Jacksonville Jaguars punter Logan Cooke threatened to “kill” him during their NFL clash on Sunday.
- The extraordinary claim followed a series of heated exchanges and penalties, including an initial incident where Chestnut blocked Cooke after Cooke appeared to trip Titans returner Chimere Dike.
- Another scuffle ensued, leading to unnecessary roughness penalties for both teams, with Titans safety Mike Brown being ejected from the game.
- Chestnut expressed surprise at Cooke's alleged threat, stating he had “never seen nothing like that before” and received no explanation for the anger.
- Cooke did not directly address the allegation but commented on his aggressive style, saying he “likes hitting people” and spoke to a referee at halftime to “clear the air” after potentially saying “some things that sounded rude”.
