Detroit Lions safety Brian Branch was ejected Sunday at Green Bay after delivering a helmet-to-helmet hit to Packers receiver Bo Melton. Branch hit Melton near the Packers sideline after Jordan Love tried to connect with him on a deep pass on second-and-20 in the second quarter.
Detroit Lions safety Brian Branch leaves the game after being disqualified during the first half of an NFL football game against the Green Bay Packers Sunday, Nov. 3, 2024, in Green Bay, Wis. Detroit Lions cornerback Amik Robertson and safety Brian Branch are called for unnecessary roughness after a tackle on Green Bay Packers wide receiver Bo Melton during the first half of an NFL football game Sunday, Nov. 3, 2024, in Green Bay, Wis.
Branch hit Melton near the Packers sideline after Jordan Love tried to connect with him on a deep pass on second-and-20 in the second quarter. Branch was flagged for unnecessary roughness, and then the hit was deemed serious enough to warrant an ejection. Brown was irate about being thrown out and was penalized again for unsportsmanlike conduct for gesturing at fans in the Lambeau Field stands before he was escorted off the field and into the locker room.
Instead of facing third-and-20 from their own 38-yard line, the Packers ended up with a first down from Detroit’s 32. But the Packers failed to capitalize on the situation. Their drive ended with Brandon McManus missing a 46-yard field goal attempt wide left.
