Brian Branch and JuJu Smith-Schuster Get Into It After Lions vs Chiefs! 😳🔥 | NFL Drama

Things got heated at Arrowhead Stadium after the Kansas City Chiefs closed out their 30-17 win over the Detroit Lions on Sunday Night Football.

As both teams walked onto the field for postgame handshakes, Lions safety Brian Branch appeared to smack JuJu Smith-Schuster in the facemask — right after passing by Patrick Mahomes, who was trying to shake his hand. The hit sent JuJu to the ground, sparking an all-out scuffle between both teams.

Players and coaches quickly rushed in to break things up, and while it eventually cooled off, Smith-Schuster walked off holding a towel to his face. Andy Reid later confirmed that JuJu suffered “pretty good damage” to his nose.

After the game, Branch admitted he let emotions get the best of him:

“I did a little childish thing… but I’m tired of people doing stuff in between plays and the refs don’t catch it. I should’ve never did it.”

Branch claimed JuJu had hit him illegally in the back earlier in the game, but even Lions head coach Dan Campbell didn’t defend his player’s reaction:

“I love Brian Branch, but what he did is inexcusable. That’s not who we are or what we do.”

The Chiefs improved to 3-3 behind another strong night from Mahomes — 22/30 for 257 yards and 3 TDs, plus one rushing score — while the Lions dropped to 4-2 after the tough road loss.

Expect the NFL to hand out fines soon… but this rivalry just got personal. 👀

  1. Ju Ju is just a punk running his mouth! He wants the attention and new a fight would break out.
    NFL gives way more attention and favortism towards the Chief's.

  2. This is what happens when the refs protect the chiefs all game and even remove touchdowns from any team getting close to winning. Good for them.!!!

  3. Mad because we lost. Smh Never gon be champs with this mindset Branch. You on TV getting paid millions to act like a child?

  4. Ya running your mouth will get you hurt! Then getting beat up and looking like it wasn’t your fault. 🤦🏽‍♂️

  5. The NFL is doing an investigation because of Mahomes taunting Branch after making a TD, so it looks like Mahomes and Branch will be fined, except Branch might get suspended as well

  6. This is what the NFL has to turn to to make it exciting because the football is a pathetic you want to watch football go put on a 85 Bears that's football this is theater you might have to put flags on the players I might watch that look like Tarzan play like Jane

  7. If Branches gets any suspension smith’s should match at least. You can see in the scrap he tried to grab his leg and alligator roll.

  8. That's what happens when the Chiefs have an unfair advantage because they are paying off the refs😂🤣✌️

  9. Ju Ju is just upset because he knows deep down inside the Chiefs suck and they not making it to the playoffs this year and they damn sure ain't getting to the Super Bowl Hey Chief fans you guys suck

    Meanwhile My Colts are the 1# seed in the AFC division the new kings of the AFC lets go Colts the road to the Super Bowl is going to be through Lucas Oil Stadium
