"KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- A long, frustrating night for the Detroit Lions inside Arrowhead Stadium ended with safety Brian Branch delivering a punch to Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster, setting off a brief fistfight among players from both teams. Following Kansas City's 30-17 victory Sunday night, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes tried to give a high-five to Branch as they met near midfield."
"Branch responded by throwing a right hook that knocked Smith-Schuster to the ground. The veteran wide receiver leaped to his feet and went after Branch, who played through an ankle injury that had kept him out of practice most of the week. Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco tried to get between them, but Branch succeeded in ripping Smith-Schuster's helmet off as dozens of players from both teams converged on the scrum."
Kansas City's 30-17 victory over Detroit ended with safety Brian Branch punching Chiefs receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster after Branch walked past Patrick Mahomes near midfield. Smith-Schuster confronted Branch, who threw a right hook that knocked him down; Smith-Schuster rose and pursued Branch, who ripped off Smith-Schuster's helmet amid a larger scrum. Branch played through an ankle injury that limited his practice during the week. Coaches and players separated the participants and led them to the locker room. Branch could face a hefty fine and suspension. Detroit's loss snapped a four-game winning streak and featured just 355 yards and limited late defensive stops.
