Jamie Collins was not long for his Lions debut.
Collins, who signed a three-year deal with Detroit back in March, was ejected from his new team’s Week 1 clash with the Chicago Bears early in the second quarter Sunday afternoon. While attempting to demonstrate how he made a hit, the veteran linebacker made contact with referee Alex Kemp, who promptly tossed Collins from the contest.
You can watch it all unfold in the video below:
It didn’t seem as though there was any malice behind Collins’ actions, but there obviously is no tolerance when it comes to making contact with officials.
As for Collins’ former team, the New England Patriots’ first touchdown of the 2020 season came courtesy of their new starting quarterback.
