""Yeah for sure, and they (saw it), too," Kinlaw said of the refs. "It's some bulls--- . 100 percent. "Daron retaliated. The refs literally saw the first punch. I don't blame him for the way he reacted. Tempers got to flaring.""
""two plays before that we got into a little scuffle, back and forth. "Then we end up scoring and I go up to him," the Lions star receiver said. "I say a little something, nothing crazy, and then he decides to swing on me.""
The NFL suspended Daron Payne one game without pay for unsportsmanlike conduct after he punched Lions receiver Amon‑Ra St. Brown during Sunday's game. Payne has the option to appeal the suspension. The Commanders are scheduled to play the Dolphins in Madrid next Sunday, and Payne would be eligible to return to the team the following day. Payne was ejected in the second quarter — his first career ejection — after Detroit scored its third touchdown and Payne struck St. Brown following a verbal exchange. Officials assessed an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty and an automatic ejection. Teammate Javon Kinlaw said St. Brown had punched Payne, and St. Brown said a prior scuffle preceded Payne's swing.
