The Lions soon scored a touchdown to put the team ahead 20-16, defeating the Packers and ending their hopes for the playoffs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve got a much higher standard for our players than to do silly things like that,\u201d Packers head coach Matt LaFleur <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2023\/01\/08\/packers-quay-walker-ejected-after-shoving-lions-athletic-trainer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a> following the game. \u201cI mean, we\u2019ve had a guy get ejected twice. I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever seen that in my career. And we\u2019ve got to be much more mentally tough.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Walker later took to Twitter to issue an apology for his actions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to apologize publicly about what happened Sunday night. I reacted off of my emotions again and take full responsibility of making another stupid decision. Since then I\u2019ve questioned myself on why did I do what I did when the trainer was doing his job!! I was wrong!!\u201d he tweeted.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I want to apologize publicly about what happened Sunday night.

After tackling running back James Cook out of bounds, Walker stood up and shoved a Bills assistant coach, leading to a 15-yard penalty and ejection.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Quay Walker was ejected for this interaction with the Bills sideline\u2026thoughts? \ud83e\udd14 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/PLsH6vqqg1\">pic.twitter.com\/PLsH6vqqg1<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 OddsChecker (@OddsCheckerUS) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/OddsCheckerUS\/status\/1586892432007987201?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 31, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Walker was a 2022 first-round draft pick from the University of Georgia who quickly became a starter for the Packers.
