GLENDALE, Ariz. -- New Orleans running back Mark Ingram said he needs to "control my emotions better" after he was caught by TV cameras Sunday shouting at Saints coach Sean Payton and throwing a fit on the sideline.
Ingram appeared to be upset by the fact that he was pulled from the game just before fellow running back Tim Hightower scored on a 2-yard touchdown run late in the Saints' 48-41 victory over the Arizona Cardinals.
"I'm real competitive in everything I do, man," said Ingram, though he wouldn't specifically confirm whether the lack of a TD opportunity is what set him off.
