Minnesota PJ Fleck explains viral ‘Blood Brother’ moment on ‘Big Noon Kickoff’ set

Minnesota leader PJ Fleck recently appeared on television to clarify his much-discussed celebration following a narrow 27-24 road win against Washington. During the contest, linebacker Maverick Baranowski suffered a facial cut from a cleat, prompting his coach to wipe the blood and smear it onto his own face.

Fleck defended the bizarre gesture during his media appearance by comparing the loyalty to military service and hunting traditions, while also praising the senior defender for a stellar performance that included seven tackles, two stops behind the line, one sack, and a crucial interception.
