NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback Zach Mettenberger knows Texans defensive end J.J. Watt didn't enjoy his presence on social media prior to Houston's game at Tennessee on Sunday.

Watt pretended to take a selfie of himself after one of his two sacks of Mettenberger and said after the game it was a reminder they were in the NFL, not high school.

"He's entitled to his opinion, he's a great player and all that, but I know how hard I work, I know what I am doing here each and every day," Mettenberger said. "Really that's something that I can't be concerned about.

"I just kind of laughed it off. I mean, what can I say? The guy is the best defensive player in the NFL. There is nothing I can say to him. I just need to keep progressing, keep working and we'll play again."

Mettenberger doesn't feel he's been active on social media to a degree that has qualified as a distraction.

"I really don't think I put a lot on social media," Mettenberger said. "You look and see guys tweet every 10 minutes. Honestly that's not me, but if guys in this locker room feel it's a distraction on my part, I'll tone it back. But I honestly don't think that's a problem."
