Dolphins' Tannehill calls Jets' Pryor 'classless'

One man's celebration is another's gloating, and where you stand probably depends on whether you're on the high side of the score.

Miami's Ryan Tannehill had a rough day on Sunday, losing to the Jets 38-20, and that surely colored his perceptions of an unflagged hit that took out a teammate. On the Dolphins' third play of the game, Tannehill lofted a pass to Rishard Matthews, who got laid out, and knocked out of the game, by Jets safety Calvin Pryor. After the hit, Pryor celebrated, and that didn't sit so well with Tannehill.

"That's kind of a classless move to celebrate when a guy is injured," the Dolphins' QB said after the game. "Obviously, it was a good hit, a clean hit. But to celebrate when a guy is down is a classless move."

Watch here at the 2:50 mark:

Pryor, naturally, didn't think much of Tannehill's comments, responding on Twitter thusly:

Icy cold there, brother. The Jets, now 6-5 and in the hunt for a playoff spot, don't play the Dolphins again this season, so Pryor can leave this particular fight behind. Tannehill, on the other hand, will get to think about how much of a role he played in Matthews' injury.
