šØBREAKING CHAOS AT ARROWHEAD: Lionsā Brian Branch Explodes After Final Whistle ā Slaps Chiefsā JuJu Smith-Schuster Across the Helmet as Sideline ERUPTS in Fury š±š„
KansasĀ City Chiefs’ win overĀ Detroit LionsĀ ended in anarchy on Sunday with a huge brawl between the two sets of players that left Juju Smith-Schuster with a bleeding nose.
It was sparked by Lions defender Brian Branch, who swung for Juju Smith-Schuster at the end of the game after ignoringĀ Patrick MahomesĀ when he reached out to shake his hand. Branch will almost certainly face some disciplinary action from the NFL for his involvement.
Smith-Schuster picked himsef up from the ground, raced after Branch and pulled him to the ground, prompting players from both teams to pile in.
But the Chiefs wide receiver had blood streaming from his nose as he was pulled away from the fighting.
A fine is coming for Brian Branch.

Chiefs quarterback Mahomes was dismissive of the incident when he was interviewed on the field once tempers had cooled down.
‘I mean, we play the game in between the whistles,’ Mahomes said, looking visibly unimpressed. ‘They can do all theĀ extracurricular stuff they want to do. We will play the game in between the whistles.’
