Patrick Mahomes threw for 257 yards and three touchdowns, scrambled for another score, and led Kansas City to a 30-17 victory that was so comprehensive that Lions safety Brian Branch boiled over at its conclusion. Branch delivered a right hook to Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster as the teams were coming together at midfield, touching off a brief melee among players.
Marquise Brown had two touchdown receptions and Xavier Worthy had another for the Chiefs (3-3), who played a near-flawless game – no penalties, no turnovers – one week after a mistake-strewn, last-second loss at Jacksonville.
Kansas City also managed to hold in check the NFL’s highest-scoring offense to snap Detroit’s winning streak.
