Jeff Fisher isn't worried about the Tennessee Titans' side of one of the NFL's most-anticipated matchups this week.

The Titans on Sunday will visit the Houston Texas in a rematch of a game played on Nov. 28, a game that featured a fourth-quarter brawl that started when Titans cornerback Cortland Finnegan drove his hands to the face of Texans wide receiver Andre Johnson.

Johnson retaliated, and each player removed the helmet of the other.

Johnson then punched Finnegan three times, with each player being ejected and fined $25,000.

Fisher, the Titans' coach, repeatedly has credited Finnegan with restraint in the incident. He was asked Monday if he planned to remind Finnegan to "not get drawn into an altercation" Sunday.
