The Detroit Lions game against the Green Bay Packers didn’t come without some controversy. Midway through the second quarter, Jordan Love targeted receiver Bo Melton on a deep shot. The ball went through Melton’s hands and shortly after, Lions safety Brian Branch came rushing in and crashed into Melton’s helmet, resulting in a violent collision.
The play was initially flagged for unnecessary roughness, but after a quick consultation with the Art McNally Gameday Central replay hub in New York, the infraction was deemed enough for an ejection.
Was that the right call?
