The NFL has announced disciplinary action for Lions safety Brian Branch, who ignited a postgame fracas by slapping Chiefs wideout JuJu Smith-Schuster on the helmet after Detroit lost 30-17 to Kansas City on Sunday night.
Branch will be suspended for one game without pay due to unsportsmanlike conduct, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. He may also appeal the decision under the collective bargaining agreement, and per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, he is.
