"Daron Payne and Javon Kinlaw illustrate Commanders' culture issue in the worst way After a Jahmyr Gibbs touchdown gave the Lions a 20-3 lead, defensive tackle Payne punched wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown in the helmet for reasons unknown. His linemate, Javon Kinlaw, then also got involved in the scrum, making contact with a referee and drawing an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty that allowed Detroit to move closer to the goal line for a successful two-point conversion attempt."
"Worse yet was Kinlaw's childish attitude after the game. " He started it!" the $15 million man with a total of zero sacks this year told reporters. Payne, who got off to a strong start, had also quietly disappeared in recent weeks until making his presence known again in the dumbest possible way. Even when he was making plays earlier in the year, he hasn't taken down a quarterback since Week 1."
The Commanders have lost five straight games and dropped to 3-7, with four defeats by at least 20 points. A second-quarter scuffle exposed serious cultural and disciplinary problems when Daron Payne punched Amon-Ra St. Brown and Javon Kinlaw made contact with a referee, drawing an unsportsmanlike penalty that aided Detroit's two-point conversion. Payne was suspended after losing his appeal. Kinlaw displayed a dismissive postgame attitude and has produced zero sacks this season, while Payne has not recorded a sack since Week 1. The team also faces scrutiny over other questionable tackles and eligibility controversies.
