Lions safety Brian Branch has been suspended without pay for one game for his actions at the end of Sunday’s loss to the Chiefs.

After quarterback Patrick Mahomes took a final kneel down, Branch went behind the line of scrimmage and struck Kansas City receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster in the facemask with an open hand, inciting a fracas between the two teams.




He will miss the MNF game against Tampa Bay.

Branch has a history of being fined for conduct, as he had already been handed three fines in the 2025 season.

The Lions’ secondary was already depleted. Baker is going to torch them next week

He got beat by JuJu’s facemask?

So trying to sucker punch an opposing player is a respectable way to have frustrations?

Juju shouldn't have blocked him in the back on that last play. That being said, absolutely retarded to start a fight like 5-10 mins later.

I wouldn't care as much if Kerby Joseph wasn't already limping, plus Arnold & Reed are out. On the other hand, the Bucs are depleted at WR. Should be a good game Monday night.

Lucky they didn’t throw him out of the league for not shaking Mahomes’ hand.

In the back you dumb frick and then stepped over. It’s a penalty all day every day and don’t act like it isn’t. Juju is known for his bullshite. Read what I said…what Branch did was inexcusable. You patrol the board looking to try to call people out when you really have nothing to add but trying to be contrarian.

If the refs won't call blatant shite, sometimes street justice gets meted out. I have no problem with what he did. I'm sure he's happy to pay his fine.

i wish more teams would bully KC instead of tiptoeing around them and still getting screwed by the refs. Just own the fact that the refs are gonna protect KC and frick up their world over and over again anyway.
