Those two players are linebacker Kwon Alexander, and defensive back Brian Branch, and now, the guys have to pay up.<\/p>\n<p>Alexander, specifically, was fined as the result of a play he had with Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Following Bills Game, Two Lions Players Fined<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.syracuse.com\/resizer\/v2\/5KFAFRLHPJBIRDMEJUKZXLWFAE.JPG?auth=537a081e01ab2be0cd2d65e209b3e49ae2c58e3fca659086efa36d5780d7ecf0&amp;width=500&amp;quality=90\" alt=\"Josh Allen injury update: Bills QB explains why he needed visit to X-ray  room after Lions game - syracuse.com\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The NFL has fined Alexander $6,722 for \u201croughing the passer,\u201d with the passer, of course, being Josh Allen. The incident happened late in the second quarter of the game. On the NFL\u2019s official page, they described it as \u201croughing the passer\u201d with a blow to the head\/neck.<\/p>\n<p>The NFL also fined Branch $10,128 for \u201ctaunting\u201d and \u201cunsportsmanlike conduct.\u201d None of the members of the Buffalo Bills were handed fines as a result of the Lions game.<\/p>\n<p>Alexander is new to the Lions and signed to their active roster off the Denver Broncos\u2018 practice squad towards the end of Novemebr, after Malcolm Rodriguez suffered a torn ACL. While Alexander is a new Lion, he\u2019s not new to the NFL. He\u2019s been in the NFL for about a decade and has played for several teams.<\/p>\n<p>When Detroit brought Alexander into the fold, Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn talked him up. Glenn and Alexander worked together in New Orleans.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cListen, I told the staff immediately that you\u2019re going to love the practice habits of this player from walkthrough to true practice habits because of how intentional he is about his work,\u201d Glenn said of Alexander, according to Sports Illustrated. \u201cHe\u2019s very, very vocal and he understands, as a linebacker, that you actually lead the team from that aspect, and he does a good job of that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images2.minutemediacdn.com\/image\/upload\/c_crop,w_3900,h_2193,x_0,y_0\/c_fill,w_720,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto\/images\/ImagnImages\/mmsport\/si\/01jfb8x2rfg00g3dvr7j.jpg\" alt=\"Josh Allen Asked Khalil Shakir to Weigh in on Plan for Touchdown vs. Lions\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Glenn added that Alexander \u201cplays fast. His instincts to me are just on another level of understanding the game, and when you have a player like that, you\u2019ve been around him, man, you want to get as many of those players back as you can. So, for us to get a chance to have that player back, it was important for us to bring him back. I think he enjoys playing for us also.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Lions Are Back on Top After Bears Win<\/h2>\n<p>The Detroit Lions have put their loss to the Bills behind them and beat the Bears in Chicago on Sunday, December 22, in a 34-17 victory. Now, the Lions haven\u2019t lost back-to-back games since they were 1-6 in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s really what all of those guys, everybody in this team is made of, from the coaches to the players that we acquire and that we bring in, and it really is because of the people,\u201d Lions head coach Dan Campbell said regarding the showing, per the Lions. \u201cI\u2019m always going to use (Amon-Ra) St. Brown as an example, but getting the bad taste out of your mouth is very important from losing and cleaning up the errors and not accepting what happened.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Campbell added, \u201cIt\u2019s never a go in the tank, lose confidence, you want to compete. And I just think that we have a whole group of those guys. That\u2019s what we\u2019re made of, that\u2019s what our locker room\u2019s made of.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Detroit Lions fell to the Buffalo Bills, and on top of that, one Lions player&#8217;s play with Josh Allen will cost him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":7718,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7717","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-detroit-lions"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
