Nashville, TN (My Sportsbook) - Tennessee Titans head coach Jeff Fisher has reportedly been fined $12,500 for his criticism of the officials after Sunday's 27-26 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, according to a report in the Tennessean on Wednesday. Fisher was upset about a third quarter call by the officials. Tennessee clearly stripped Ravens' running back Mike Anderson of the ball before he hit the ground. The officials said Anderson was down before the fumble and Fisher challenged the call, but lost because although the replay showed the fumble there wasn't a clear recovery of the ball. "There was no way in the world I should have been challenging the play in the first place," Fisher said on Sunday. "That was a bad call by the umpire. And that's what bothers me. We all saw it, everybody saw it. The runner is upright and the ball came out. Now how you get down by contact I have no idea. I hope they hear me in New York because that was field position, and we lost by a point." Fisher is the co-chairman of the NFL's competition committee. The Titans are 2-7 and travel to take on the Philadelphia Eagles for Week 11.
