It's easy to go extremely negative about Brian Branch after what amounts to the 14th fine of his young career, but there are layers of nuance that shouldn't be ignored.
After an ugly incident at the end of the Detroit Lions' Week 6 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, safety Brian Branch was easily headed for further discipline from the league with 13 previous fines on his resume.
On Monday the league did a step better, suspending Branch one game for his role in starting a fight with Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster.
