Mahomes threw for 257 yards and three touchdowns, two of which went to Hollywood Brown, while adding another score on the ground. Jared Goff threw two touchdowns, one to Sam LaPorta and one to Jameson Williams, in the loss.

It all started with Lions safety Brian Branch snubbing Patrick Mahomes's attempt at a handshake before going over to Chiefs wideout JuJu Smith-Schuster and slapping him for no apparent reason. Smith-Schuster walked away from the fight with a bloody nose, while Branch will walk away with likely a fine or a worse punishment from the league.
