Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford took exception to Detroit Lions safety Kerby Joseph prematurely ending his tight end, Tyler Higbee’s, wild-card game performance after a low hit caused a torn ACL and MCL.
The hit was called dirty by many, as Joseph sprinted and dove at Higbee’s knee as he was trying to make a catch on a ball thrown by Stafford.

Stafford, who was mic’d up for the game due to his lengthy past in Detroit prior to joining the Rams, ran up to Joseph to let him know what he thought about the hit.
