GREEN BAY, Wis. — Detroit Lions safety Brian Branch was ejected Sunday at Green Bay after delivering a helmet-to-helmet hit to Packers receiver Bo Melton. Branch hit Melton near the Packers sideline after Jordan Love tried to connect with him on a deep pass on second-and-20 in the second quarter. Branch was flagged for unnecessary roughness, and then the hit was deemed serious enough to warrant an ejection. Branch was irate about being thrown out and gestured at fans in the Lambeau Field stands before he was escorted off the field and into the locker room.
