"Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell described Brian Branch's post-game attack on JuJu Smith-Schuster as "inexcusable" and hinted at internal disciplinary action following the 30-17 defeat to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday night. Branch snubbed a high-five offer from Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes at the end of the fourth quarter, prompting Smith-Schuster to have words with Branch, who then punched him in the facemask and knocked him to the ground. Several other players attempted to wade in but not before Branch had ripped Smith-Schuster's facemask off his head."
""I love Brian Branch," Campbell said, "but what he did is inexcusable, and it's not going to be accepted here. It's not what we do. It's not what we're about. I apologized to Coach [Andy] Reid and the Chiefs, and Smith-Schuster. That's not OK. That's not what we do here. It's not going to be OK. He knows it. Our team knows it. That's not what we do.""

Coach Dan Campbell labeled the action inexcusable, apologized to Andy Reid, the Chiefs and Smith-Schuster, and signaled internal disciplinary measures. Branch admitted his part, called his behavior childish, and said he felt provoked. Mahomes completed 22 of 30 for 257 yards, three passing TDs, and added a rushing touchdown.
