NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Officials ejected Titans defensive tackle Jason Jones for throwing a punch during a scrum on the Houston Texans' sideline during the fourth quarter of Tennesse's 34-31 home loss Sunday.

Titans linebacker Keith Bulluck had just stopped Steve Slaton for no gain near the Texans' bench Sunday when players from both teams started pushing and shoving.

Officials called Texans wide receiver David Anderson for a personal-foul penalty, but referee Walt Coleman said Jones had thrown a punch and was ejected.

The second-year pro went to the Titans' sideline and got a high-five from a teammate deactivated for the game. He then went to the locker room to cheers from fans as he waved them on.
