The Detroit Lions locker room isn’t happy. Earlier this week, an NFL Films video hit social media with a one-minute clip, narrated by ESPN’s Louis Riddick. It showed a montage of safety Brian Branch’s worst plays and reactions from the Lions’ 30-17 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs . Within hours, the league deleted it. But it was too late.

Amon-Ra St. Brown couldn’t believe what he saw. “I thought that video was crazy. I don’t know why it was released, the reasoning behind it,” he said. “Brian Branch is an awesome dude. In the building, he’s one of the nicest dudes, he’s quiet, you never see him really get mad. He’s always smiling. He made a mistake, and he knows it, and he apologized, and I don’t know why it’s still getting dragged along, but I don’t think that video was right.”
