India, Oct. 13 -- Detroit Lions safety Brian Branch may face a fine and possible suspension after striking Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster following Sunday's game.

The Lions fell 34-21 to the Chiefs on October 12, their first loss in over a month. As time expired, Patrick Mahomes attempted to shake Branch's hand, but Branch appeared to ignore him. Chiefs wideout JuJu Smith-Schuster reacted, and Branch responded by hitting him in the face mask, knocking him to the ground, according to Heavy Sports report.

Smith-Schuster got up and chased Branch before the two fell to the turf. Mahomes jumped in as players from both teams joined the scuffle, creating a large on-field melee near midfield at Arrowhead Stadium.
