Detroit Lions Brian Branch ejected against Green Bay Packers

Detroit Lions Brian Branch ejected after hit on Green Bay Packers Bo Melton.

and Green Bay Packers had a common enemy in Sunday's game that affected the way they approached the first half -- the weather.Midway through the second quarter, with the Packers facing a second-and-20, Branch came in late and collided with Melton on an overthrown pass. He was flagged for unnecessary roughness, then ejected following a pause in the game. He incurred an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty moments after being ejected.

Highlighted by a fourth-down conversion by tight end Tucker Kraft's sneak and a series of runs by Josh Jacobs, the Packers' drive ultimately stalled when Chris Brooks dropped a pass thrown behind him by quarterback Jordan Love.
