NFL fans have for years felt that the league's officiating crews are bias toward Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. These claims have been mostly unfounded, of course. The Chiefs are a great team - a dynasty,

All the talk about the decline of the Kansas City Chiefs was apparently premature. With Patrick Mahomes doing his magic and a stout defense, the Chiefs can beat anybody.

ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith believes the NFL should suspend Detroit Lions DB Brian Branch following a postgame brawl on Sunday night.

The Detroit Lions will be without safety Brian Branch for one game. Per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the NFL suspended Branch for one game for hitting Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster.

Branch was suspended for one game without pay after he refused to shake Patrick Mahomes’s hand and then struck JuJu Smith-Schuster.

Brian Branch has been suspended by the NFL for one game without pay for his actions following the Lions ' loss to the Chiefs on Sunday night. The Lions' Pro Bowl defensive back initiated a fight between the two teams immediately following the Chiefs' 30-17 win when he punched Kansas City wideout JuJu Smith-Schuster .

Your aggressive, non-football act was entirely unwarranted, posed a serious risk of injury, and clearly violated the standards of conduct and sportsmanship expected of NFL players. Your conduct reflected poorly on the NFL and has no place in our game.
