97.1 The Ticket -- Tahir Whitehead spent the first six seasons of his NFL playing for the Lions.

Now the former Detroit linebacker is out here karate chopping current Lions.

Cameras caught what referees didn't during the first half of Sunday's Lions-Raiders game in Oakland. Following a Daryl Worley interception on a pass intended for Kenny Golladay, Whitehead was seen delivering a "karate chop," squarely landing it on Golladay's neck.

Whitehead wasn't flagged for the incident, but he'll likely get a fine from the NFL.

Oakland went on to beat Detroit, 31-24, sending the Lions to 3-4-1 on the season.
