What started as a heated handshake snub has now spiraled into one of the ugliest scenes in recent NFL memory.
New footage from the tunnel shows JuJu Smith-Schuster bleeding heavily from his nose moments after being slapped and tackled by Lions safety Brian Branch during the shocking postgame brawl.
Witnesses describe pure chaos at midfield — shouting, shoving, and even coaches trying (and failing) to hold players back — but the real horror came later, when cameras caught JuJu stumbling toward the locker room, clutching his face as blood streamed down his nose.
“It wasn’t just a little scuffle,” one Chiefs staffer said. “JuJu’s nose was busted wide open. You could see the blood on his gloves.”
According to team sources, JuJu was immediately taken to the medical tent, where he was evaluated for a possible nasal fracture. Trainers later confirmed “significant swelling and bleeding”, with one insider saying it “looked broken, or close to it.”
Meanwhile, Brian Branch — the Lions player who initiated the slap — was escorted away by team officials, reportedly shouting at the Chiefs bench as he left. Several cameras caught him smirking while teammates tried to calm him down.
“It was disgusting,” said one Chiefs veteran. “You don’t hit a man after the whistle, and you sure as hell don’t walk away laughing while he’s bleeding.”
The NFL has now launched a formal investigation, reviewing on-field footage, tunnel security cameras, and multiple fan videos circulating online. League sources confirm both teams could face fines and suspensions, and “disciplinary measures could be severe” given the optics of the incident.
Social media has completely exploded:
💬 “That wasn’t a slap — that was an assault.”
💬 “JuJu bleeding, Mahomes fined, Branch laughing? What is happening to the league?”
💬 “If the NFL doesn’t suspend Branch, they’re setting a dangerous precedent.”
Even Patrick Mahomes reportedly stormed out of the locker room, visibly upset, refusing to take postgame questions. One insider claimed Mahomes was overheard saying:
“If they won’t protect my guys, I will.”
The Chiefs organization has since released a brief statement condemning the violence, calling it “unacceptable and unsportsmanlike.” But many fans say that’s not enough — they want the league to suspend Branch immediately and rescind Mahomes’ $200K fine.
As of late Monday night, JuJu is expected to undergo further medical testing to determine if surgery will be required. Chiefs insiders say he’s “bruised, angry, and ready for justice.”
One thing’s for sure:
This isn’t just a rivalry anymore — it’s a full-blown NFL war.
