The Detroit Lions are a beloved team around the league, but they have at least one player that many fan bases dislike.
The Lions picked up their 11th win in a row on Thursday night, defeating the division rival Green Bay Packers, but it did come with controversy.
Detroit defensive back Kerby Joseph tried his best to hit Packers tight end Tucker Kraft in the knee with his helmet.
It was a dirty-looking play, given the two’s history and the Detroit Lions player’s overall history.
Fans want him suspended for his actions:
“Kerby Joseph might actually be a scumbag, and the league has to do something about it if they’re truly about player safety. He shredded TJ Hockenson and Tyler Higbee’s knees exactly like this and tried it again with Tucker Kraft last night,” one fan said.
“Kerby Joseph tried to end Tucker Kraft’s season. I’ve been told the Lions aren’t dirty tho,” another fan added.
One fan asked: “Am I reaching or does #0 (couldn’t tell you his name) aim for krafts head before he ducks last second after Kerby Joseph gets juked the fuck out for trying to end his season?”
One fan made it clear that the Detroit Lions starter needs to face a punishment: “Kirby Joseph deserves a fine and should be suspended for the rest of the season and most of the postseason.”
Another fan wants him out of the league, stating, “Kerby Joseph continues to do this crap. Head down, targeting the knees. He belongs out of the league.”
One final fan added: “Kerby Joseph is dirty AF. He’s already altered the careers of 2 top-tier TEs last year and he continues to try to hurt players. NFL won’t do a thing because this is just the Lions “tough physical culture”. BS.”
It should be noted that Kerby Joseph tore Higbee’s ACL and tore Hockenson’s ACL.
