A massive fight broke out at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday. Following the Kansas City Chiefs' dominating 30-17 victory over the Detroit Lions, things took an ugly turn on the field.
After the end of the game, Lions safety Brian Branch approached JuJu Smith-Schuster. He ended up slapping the Chiefs' wide receiver. Schuster was infuriated by the slap and started throwing hands at Branch.
This led to players from both teams getting caught in the crossfire while they tried to break up JuJu Smith-Schuster and Brian Branch. Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes also tried to diffuse the tension, but ended up at the bottom of the pile of players.

Following the final whistle, Patrick Mahomes tried to reach out to Brian Branch for a handshake after the game. However, the Lions' safety completely ignored the quarterback. This seemingly angered JuJu Smith-Schuster.
That is when Branch approached the wide receiver and slapped him. Schuster was enraged by the slap and decided to throw hands at the Lions safety. Soon, more players from both teams got involved, which resulted in the massive scuffle.
NFL insider Ari Meirov later tweeted a clip showcasing Schuster walking into the locker room with a towel over his nose.
With this victory, Andy Reid's team has secured a 3-3 record this season following last week's disappointing loss to the Jaguars. On the other hand, the Lions' four-game winning streak came to an end at Arrowhead Stadium.
