The referees for the Lions vs. Packers game should really just throw their flags away and let these two teams go at it.
The rivalry between Detroit and Green Bay has heated up in 2024, with both teams in contention for playoff spots.
The two teams were all set to meet on Thursday Night Football, but it appears some players wanted to kick things off early.
Lions safety Kerby Joseph had to be separated from Packers tight end Tucker Kraft in the tunnel before the game even kicked off.
Tucker Kraft previously called the Lions’ third-year defender a “dangerous player” earlier in the week.

Kraft said earlier this week he would get his hands on Joseph because he has injured multiple of his teammates in the past.

The two exchanged words as they walked up the tunnel and had to be separated by coaches and teammates.
Lions And Packers Both Need To Win On Thursday Night Football
The Lions, Vikings, and Packers are all within two games of each other atop their division.
For Green Bay, Thursday’s game against the Detroit Lions will be their last chance to stay alive in the NFC North.
Green Bay has won three consecutive games but hasn’t been able to make up a bit of ground in the NFC North.
That is because Detroit is 11-1 and has won 10 in a row.
Not to mention, the Vikings are 10-2 and have won five in a row.
