During Sunday’s 37-29 loss to the Panthers, the Packers defense had more issues than stopping the Carolina offense.
They also had issues with each other. During the fourth quarter, cameras caught Packers safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix starting to talk to linebacker Julius Peppers on the sideline when defensive tackle B.J. Raji stepped between them. Raji was animated while talking to Clinton-Dix and shoved him away from Peppers. Other players stepped between them at that point and led Clinton-Dix away.
After the game, Clinton-Dix took to Twitter to say he was sorry for the incident.
“I apologize for my play and sideline issues,” Clinton-Dix wrote. “We are good, just two emotional guys with heart and passion trying to find away to win. I will never disrespect a HOF player and a guy I’ve been watching since I was a little kid. Misunderstanding, I apologize to my Packer fans.”
Raji said, via Mike Clemens of 105.7 The Fan, that “frustration set in” and that it was an “in-house family thing” that the Packers will fix. After two straight losses, the Packers have a few things in need of repair before they return to action against the Lions next weekend.
