Just when fans thought the chaos from the Lions-Commanders showdown had cooled off, new video footage has reignited the drama.
A fresh angle circulating online appears to show Amon-Ra St. Brown throwing a punch at Daron Payne several plays before the altercation that led to Payne’s ejection. The clip, which spread rapidly across social media, adds an unexpected twist to what many believed was a one-sided incident.
In the heat of Sunday’s emotional matchup — which featured Donald Trump’s viral appearance, sideline tension, and post-play skirmishes — it’s now becoming clear that both players may have been caught up in the moment. Fans are split: some believe St. Brown’s earlier swing sparked the retaliation, while others argue Payne still went too far when he lashed out later in the game.
The NFL’s disciplinary committee reportedly reviewed multiple angles before suspending Payne, but if this new footage gains traction, the league could face pressure to take another look. One thing’s certain — this rivalry just got a whole lot spicier, and Detroit’s locker room might have more explaining to do than they expected
