Tempers flared at the end of Sunday night’s game at Arrowhead Stadium, which could result in a key Detroit Lions defender receiving another fine from the NFL.
Following their 30-17 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, Lions safety Brian Branch was involved in a brief postgame scuffle with Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster, leading to both teams stepping in to separate the two.
As the clock expired, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes approached Branch for what appeared to be a routine handshake. Instead, Branch brushed him off and walked away.
