Daron Payne Suspended for Week 11, Cites Amon-Ra St. Brown's Initial Punch
Washington Commanders defensive tackle Daron Payne received a one-game suspension from the NFL, upheld after appeal, for punching Detroit Lions wideout Amon-Ra St. Brown. This suspension will cause him to miss the team's Week 11 game. Payne shared a video on Instagram showing St. Brown punching him in the helmet first. An NFL official appeared to witness St. Brown's initial punch, but no flag was thrown. Payne retaliated with his own punch, was penalized during the game, and subsequently suspended. The incident occurred during the Lions' 44-22 win.
