The Detroit Lions lost a big part of their defense less than two quarters into their huge divisional clash against the Green Bay Packers.
With about six minutes to go before halftime, safety Brian Branch was ejected for a late helmet-to-helmet hit on Packers wideout Bo Melton. It was a dirty play that was initially flagged for the high hit on a defenseless receiver, but the league office in New York decided it was enough to warrant an ejection.
