Here we go again. Detroit Lions safety Brian Branch has been penalized yet again by the NFL, this time for an “Unnecessary Roughness (hip-drop tackle)” during the Lions’ dramatic comeback victory over the Houston Texans. The NFL Football Operations has issued Branch a $10,128 fine for the contentious tackle.
This is the third fine Branch has received in the last two weeks, continuing a trend of disciplinary measures against the young safety. Despite these fines, Branch has been a key contributor to the Lions’ defensive success this season.
Lions fans hope this latest fine won’t deter his aggressive playing style, as Branch remains a crucial component of their defense heading into future games.
