Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reported that the NFL has fined Branch $20,256 for his hit on Green Bay Packers wide receiver Bo Melton and an additional $10,128 for his gesture that saw him flip off Packers fans with both of his hands.
The fines amount to a total of $30,384. He was ejected from the game following the hit and made the obscene gesture as he was exiting the field.
