Notes: Lions DB Brian Branch joins ‘The Insiders’ on NFL Network

Lions defensive back Brian Branch joined Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo on “The Insiders” for an interview.

There once was a time when a Detroit Lions player being interviewed was a rare occurrence. Being out of the limelight was a normal, everyday thing. However, those days are now long, long gone.

It feels like everyday you turn on your computer or scroll on your phone, there is a different Lions player making some appearance on a national show, podcast—you name it. This week, it was safety Brian Branch’s turn, as he made his appearance on, “The Insiders,” with Mike Garafolo and Ian Rapaport.

The trio touched on Branch’s Week 6 Defensive Player of the Week performance, the chemistry in the Lions locker room, and what this month’s,“Crucial Catch,” means to him on a personal level.

And now, onto the rest of today’s notes:

• Jared Goff chants have broken out down in Tennessee. Lions fans are truly one of a kind.

• This was a petty move by Lions All-Pro wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown and I am here for all of it.

• We all know that PFF is not the gospel, but still—nice to see a familiar face at right tackle.

• Here is a full breakdown of defensive tackle Alim McNeill’s contract extension courtesy of Over the Cap.

• Greg Cosell breaks down how Lions quarterback Jared Goff was able to find the voids in Minnesota’s defense last year ahead of the big game on Sunday.

• Shoutout to the Lions media team for the Sweetest Day love.
