Detroit Lions safety Kerby Joseph collided with Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee in a hit that sent the receiver head over heels and eventually caused him to have a torn ACL that will likely have him missing a ton of time on the field when it comes to practice before the 2024 season.
Quarterback Matthew Stafford could be seen confronting Joseph and clearly had some choice words for him.
Lucky for us, that moment was mic’d up and we now know exactly what the former Lions quarterback said.
“Hey! Hey! Hey, that’s a good hit. That’s a good hit, (but) you’re dirty as [censored], though, and you know it,” Stafford said. “You’re dirty as [censored]. It’s been on tape. I’ve seen it. Hey, it’s been on tape.”
That tape Stafford is referring to is Joseph’s similar hit on Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson, which resulted in a torn ACL and MCL.
Stafford passed for 367 yards and two touchdowns in the loss to the Detroit Lions with a very loud Ford Field booing him.

Stafford has been dealing with an elbow injury for the last couple of seasons, but it did not look like it affected him at all as he led the Rams to the playoffs with a 10-7 record.
All signs point to him coming back for the 2024 season.
The Rams and Lions will play again next season in Detroit.
