Thanks to Aqib Talib and Adam “Pacman” Jones , there was a bit of WWE-style smack talk in NFL locker rooms Sunday.

No telling what might have been said on the field.

Broncos cornerback Talib shared his less-than-flattering thoughts about Harry Douglas after the Tennessee Titans receiver went low with a cut block on Denver’s Chris Harris Jr. And Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Jones had plenty to say about Cleveland Browns receiver Terrelle Pryor – although, in that case, it was not exactly clear why.

Giving new meaning to the term “trash talk” after the Bengals kept the Browns winless by beating them 23-10, Jones picked up a garbage can and yelled into it, “Do you see him in there? Terrelle? Terrelle?” And then, as if his message was in any way unclear, Jones slammed the can to the floor and added, “Terrelle Pryor is garbage.”

Pryor, who played QB in college and briefly tried to make it as a pro at that position before switching, was held to one catch for 3 yards.
