"Wide receiver Derrick Mason had stayed under control for most of the season, but he did have a very heated exchange with quarterback Joe Flacco in the second half of Sunday's game at Carolina.

Mason apparently was unhappy about Flacco not releasing a potential pass to him fast enough, and got in Flacco's face on the sideline, which spilled over onto the field. The two players had to be separated by other players, and later offensive coordinator Cam Cameron became the mediator. For some, it was a strange confrontation between the two, but Mason has been known to erupt other times during games."
