Dion Lewis gloats about Titans’ victory over Patriots

Earlier in the week, Titans running back Dion Lewis provided some bulletin-board material for his former team when he said of reuniting with his old teammates, "I'll talk to them after the game, after we beat them."

After Sunday's thrashing of New England at Nissan Stadium, the former New England playoff hero seized the opportunity to ramp up the trash talk.

Is it personal, Dion Lewis? ‘hell yeah it’s personal. That’s what happens when you go cheap. You get your ass kicked.” The #Titans RB very happy about beating his former team #patriots

One more from my line of questioning w/ #Titans RB Dion Lewis, "I didn't have to prove anything. I know I can play. I just had to let our team know that these guys are beatable...I know those guys. I know that you be physical with them & let 'em have it & they'll fold." #Patriots

Dion Lewis is on the sideline laughing and talking trash to Chris Hogan as he's lined up on kickoff return team. All Hogan can do is shrug his shoulders.

Malcolm Butler, another former Patriots star who left Foxborough to get paid, was a little more reserved, but still had some fun with it:

Malcolm Butler said this win was no different than any other but when I asked him if he smiled a little brighter knowing who was on the other side he said, "most definitely." #titans #patriots

Lewis racked up 68 total yards from scrimmage on 22 total touches in Sunday's win for Tennessee.
