NFL VP of Football Operations Jon Runyan: “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.”

Lions S Brian Branch, who popped Chiefs WR JuJu Smith-Schuster in the face after the loss to KC, was suspended one game by the NFL.

He won me over in Game 5 vs. Detroit. Any chunky dude wearing pink shoes who hits a check-swing double and then steals third is cool with me.
