Mahomes, Campbell denounce brawl after Chiefs win | JQJO

Patrick Mahomes said the Chiefs played a clean, whistle-to-whistle game in their 30-17 win over the Lions, and he condemned the postgame melee that followed. The brawl erupted when Detroit safety Brian Branch declined to shake Mahomes’ hand and slapped Juju Smith-Schuster. Lions coach Dan Campbell called Branch’s actions inexcusable, apologized to Andy Reid, the Chiefs and Smith-Schuster, and said such behavior won’t be tolerated, especially with Detroit already shorthanded. Branch apologized while alleging an earlier dirty play. The league is reviewing the incident for possible discipline.
