Lions safety Brian Branch was ejected for a helmet-to-helmet hit in a game against the Packers.

In an NFC North game, Detroit Lions safety Brian Branch was ejected in the second quarter for a helmet-to-helmet hit on Packers receiver Bo Melton. Initially penalized for unnecessary roughness, the decision to eject him came from officials in New York. Branch also received an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for his reaction to the crowd. Despite this setback, the Lions held a 17-3 lead at halftime, and the Packers failed to capitalize on the situation.
