Mics caught Matthew Stafford calling out Kerby Joseph for his brutal hit on Tyler Higbee

Matthew Stafford was NOT happy with Kerby Joseph.

Matthew Stafford is going to stick up for his guys. He’s even willing to call out what he seemingly feels is unsportsmanlike behavior, no matter who you are. A newly released clip caught Stafford giving an earful to Detroit Lions Safety Kerby Joseph for his season-ending hit on Tyler Higbee.

Matthew Stafford’s playoff homecoming with the Detroit Lions was a mixed bag of emotions. There was booing from fans, missed calls by the refs and even an unfortunate mid-game injury to tight end Tyler Higbee. As you might imagine, Stafford didn’t take too kindly to the hit that ultimately ended Higbee’s day early and led to a torn ACL and MCL.

New footage of the injury aftermath has surfaced, and mics caught the Los Angeles quarterback calling out Kerby Joseph with some very colorful language.
