Absolutely the right call to throw him out for that absolute cheap shot. Was it worth it branch?  3rd and 20, instead it’s 1st and 10 and you’re ejected for an egregious unnecessary cheap shot.  Game changer.  

And yet...jameson

Cool. We're gonna lose this game cos Branch had to keep it real. ****ing stupid.

The penalty I get, but to eject him was ridiculous. This is not college football with targeting rules in place.

For anyone saying BS come on. It doesn’t get more obvious. 

When was the last time you seen that in an NFL game? How many of the times since then have you seen a late hit/helmet to helmet hit? The latter happen all the time yet you almost NEVER see something like that.

[MichiganCardinal]

Very long field goal in these conditions.

That it was a foul? Absolutely. You, unfortunately, see hits like this in pretty much any game. It was a bad hit, Branch should do better. But I've NEVER see an ejection for something as (relatively speaking here) benign as this.

[Sports_Freak]

Referees really mad now, they tried to score and the Lions held them. More officials calls coming...

[lordstanley]

So no points after all of that.

I think you'd have a hard time even calling that targeting. He was dropping into the hit, not launching himself. Bad hit? Yes. Foul, Yes. Ejection? Come on... 

[MichiganCardinal]

Go score 6. Need more points with a handicapped defense.

[Adullin]

Ball don't lie refs

I'll add onto that, fine him yes. They fine guys for hits all the time. Ejection is just excessive.

From the first TD:

[MichiganCardinal]

Two plays to gain one yard.

FYI, Xavier Woods sent Chris Olave to the hospital and finished the game.

AND ANOTHER FIFTEEN ON CDIII

Just a self-correction, the extra 15 was on Branch for flipping off the crowd.

[MichiganCardinal]

What are the Goff haters going to say after this one?

"Can't win in big games"

"Can't throw the deep ball"

"Can't throw the ball outdoors"

It really says something when Tom Brady is impressed with a QB.

Can't prevent the NFL from ejecting teammates.

Probably three tries to get six yards here. I don't think they're planning on kicking field goals in &Goal situations.

[MichiganCardinal]

Kick it.
