The Detroit Lions’ Kerby Joseph had the perfect clap-back after the Lions’ 34-31 victory over the Green Bay Packers on Thursday Night Football. Following pregame trash talk from Packers tight end Tucker Kraft, who accused Joseph of being a dirty player and vowed to “get his hands” on the safety, Joseph delivered a brutal postgame response.
When asked about Kraft, Joseph quipped, “You talking about mac ’n cheese Kraft? I don’t know who that boy is. To be honest, people just talk crazy on the internet. When they see me, they ain’t doing none of that.” His pointed words underscored the Lions’ dominance on the field as they improved to 12-1 and clinched a playoff berth. Meanwhile, the Packers fell to 9-4, their playoff hopes taking a hit.
Kraft’s comments stemmed from Joseph’s reputation for hard hits, including past incidents where Los Angeles Rams’ Tyler Higbee and Packers’ Romeo Doubs suffered significant injuries during games against him. While Kraft’s remarks sought to fire up his team, they ultimately backfired, with the Lions walking away victorious and Joseph having the last laugh.
