Brian Branch probably won't be the only Lions player with a big fine from the NFL, Kerby Joseph is likely next, and it has nothing to do with the fight

Sunday night's game was an emotional one for the Detroit Lions. You could tell by the barroom brawl that took place after it. There is no doubt that all eyes are going to be on Brian Branch this week to see if he's going to be suspended. We don't even have to guess about a fine. It's coming, and it will be his 14th career fine in just three seasons. That is a problem.

But now that the dust is settled, Branch is probably not the only guy getting fined after Sunday's loss.

The NFL is very likely to fine Kerby Joseph for being too outspoken about NFL officials on social media

Is it dumb? Yes, it' very dumb. But the NFL has a very clear rule. The NFL has a policy under Rule 12, Section 3 of the league's rulebook, that says players cannot publicly criticize game officials. This includes comments made in post-game interviews, on social media, or in other public forums that question the integrity or competence of referees. This, and many other things Joseph did on Twitter on Sunday night, are pretty clear violations of that rule.
