“Yeah, for sure, and they (officials) did too (see St. Brown hit Payne). That (expletive) was some (expletive), 100%.”

St. Brown mentioned he and Payne bought into a bit of scuffle two performs earlier than the landing and subsequent ejection. The All-Pro Lions broad receiver went as much as Payne and mentioned “a little something (to him) — nothing crazy, and then he decides to swing on me.”

And the back-and-forth finger-pointing continued on Tuesday, when Payne shared video of what led to him putting St. Brown, and to try and prove Kinlaw right in the aftermath.

The video shows Payne push St. Brown after a play, after which the receiver swipes the defensive lineman away, earlier than connecting tougher with Payne’s facemask on a swing. As Kinlaw mentioned after the sport, there are three officers close by, and even a Commanders participant signaling for a flag after St. Brown attracts contact.

Awful Announcing reports that the Fox broadcast of the Lions-Commanders sport by no means confirmed the preliminary incident between St. Brown and Payne moving into it earlier than the ejection. Payne shared the video on Instagram on Tuesday, then NBC Sports Washington picked it up, and it gained traction.

Goff made his comments about Riddick on 97.1 The Ticket earlier than the video of the preliminary incident between St. Brown and Payne made the rounds.
