Lions' Brian Branch ejected, flips middle finger to Packers fans after throwing illegal hit

Branch hit Melton in the head area, which officials quickly called unnecessary roughness. 

Branch was hit with yet another penalty after saying something to officials after his ejection, as well as giving a double-middle finger to the Lambeau Field crowd on his way to the sideline. 

Luckily for Detroit, Brandon McManus was unable to convert his second field goal attempt at the end of the drive. 

Branch's frustrations continued as he walked toward the locker room as he was spotted giving the middle finger with both of his hands to the Lambeau Field crowd.

The NFL is wary of hits to the helmet, which result in personal fouls when seen during games, in an attempt to have players not lead with the crown of their helmet.

Branch is in his second year with the Lions, who took him in the second round of last year's NFL Draft.

Through six games entering Sunday, Branch has tallied 38 combined tackles, two of which for a loss, with 11 passes defended and one forced fumble.
