The NFL has ruled on the Detroit Lions safety. Kirby Joseph’s controversial hit tore Los Angeles Rams Tyler Higbee’s ACL.The league did not fine Joseph for hitting Higbee in the NFC Wild Card round, which was ruled legal.
However, he was fined for unnecessary disorderly conduct and an unrelated incident. Rams players, particularly quarterback Matthew Stafford, criticized Joseph’s actions after the injury. Joseph is the Vikings T.J. And Hockenson suffered the same injury.
Joseph denied allegations that he was a dirty player. Joseph’s game can be questioned, but he tries to avoid direct contact when bringing down players bigger than him. The NFL will never take a hit like that.
