NAPA, Calif. -- Matt Patricia wanted to turn up the temperature of Lions camp during their trip to California this week. Boy, did he get his wish.
Tempers flared Wednesday as the Lions wrapped up their second joint practice with the Oakland Raiders. Jarrad Davis hit somebody late, or at least what Oakland players perceived to be late, and was lit up by somebody after the whistle. Anthony Zettel came to his defense, and a melee ensued.
There were no punches thrown, at least as far as I could tell, but there was plenty of pushing and shoving until the players could be separated.
