Detroit Lions safety Tracy Walker was asked about the unnecessary roughness call against him when he collided with Packers receiver Geronimo Allison on the first play of the third quarter of a 23-22 loss to Green Bay.
Walker was flagged for 15 yards on the incomplete pass, and later said he was just going for the ball, criticizing the officiating while explaining it.
