VIDEO: Detroit Lions Superstar Brian Branch Was Ejected For Ugly Helmet-To-Helmet Hit On Packers WR Bo Melton, And NFL Fans Had A Lot To Say About It
Brian Branch had a rough first half against the Green Bay Packers.
The Lions have lost their free safety after an illegal hit.
Defensive back Brian Branch was ejected after a helmet-to-helmet hit with Green Bay Packers wide receiver Bo Melton.
The moment came in the second quarter as the Packers were facing a second-and-20.
Branch came in late and collided with Melton on an overthrown pass. The refs flagged him with unnecessary roughness, then ejected following a pause in the game.
He then had to be pushed away from the refs for yelling at them and would receive an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty moments after being ejected.
Brian Branch reportedly made a gesture towards Packers fans.
After it was all said and done, the Packers’ ensuing drive ended in a missed field goal by Brandon McManus.
This is a major loss for the Lions, as Branch is one of their best players.
Branch had two tackles at the time of his ejection.
Brian Branch Will Hear from The League Office

As for the fans, while most agreed that the hit was dirty, the majority weren’t quite convinced that it was worthy of an ejection:
