Green Bay Packers wide receiver Bo Melton absorbed a controversial hit from Brian Branch Sunday. Melton, though, shared an intriguing admission after the collision. Following the 24-14 loss to Branch's Detroit Lions, Melton addressed the helmet-to-helmet blast. The veteran wideout carries zero animosity for Branch's actions.
“He was playing ball,” Melton said, per ESPN Packers reporters Eric Woodyard and Kalyn Kahler. “I'm all good, so it is what it is. He was playing ball, and he hit me when I was in the air. So it is what it is.”
The Lions lost Branch to disqualification at the 6:18 mark of the second quarter.
