Kansas City Chiefs’ win over Detroit Lions ended in anarchy on Sunday with a huge brawl between the two sets of players.
It was sparked by Lions defender Brian Branch, who swung for Juju Smith-Schuster at the end of the game after ignoring Patrick Mahomes 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.

Chiefs quarterback Mahomes was dismissive of the incident when he was interviewed on the field once tempers had cooled down.
‘We played the game in between the whistles,’ Mahomes said, looking visibly unimpressed. ‘They can do all the extracurricular stuff they want to do. We will play the game in between the whistle.’
The Chiefs beat the Lions 30-17 on the night at Arrowhead.
