Detroit Lions safety Kerby Joseph says he isn't fazed by criticism regarding his low hit that injured Rams tight end Tyler Higbee's knee during the Lions' 24-23 wild card Sunday victory.
"It's cool. I'm used to being the villain," Joseph said Thursday, per the Detroit Free Press' Dave Birkett (h/t Yahoo Sports.)
Joseph added that he "just wanted to make a tackle, really."
"People are going to say what they say. I'm just here to do my job," Joseph said.
Higbee suffered a torn ACL after a low hit from Joseph in the fourth quarter.
