Lions' Brian Branch Ejected for Hit, Flips Off Packers Fans
Detroit Lions defensive back Brian Branch was ejected from the game against the Green Bay Packers for a helmet-to-helmet hit on Bo Melton, followed by an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for giving the crowd the middle finger. The ejection was decided by the review center in New York. Despite Branch's absence, the Lions' defense remained strong, with Kerby Joseph scoring a pick-six to extend their lead. The Lions have been performing well this season, winning their last five games.
