Tennessee Titans safety Michael Griffin had eight tackles during the team's 34-28 win over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, plus one solid stick on a fan after the game.

Griffin took to Twitter to respond to a Titans fan who was critical of the nine-year veteran's performance thus far.

If @MikeGriff33 only had a million dollars for every tackle he makes a year. Oh wait he does. #sucks

Per Spotrac.com, Griffin counts $8.1 million against Tennessee's salary cap this season. He has 44 tackles and an interception in seven games.

Griffin later apologized, agreeing he needs to play better.

@Titansfantalk I apologize for my last tweet that's not my character. You right need to improve and make those plays.

No word whether the fan in question plans to help Griffin spend some of his cash in the post-win celebration.
