Detroit Lions<\/a> defensive back Brian Branch came clean about his “childish” behavior at the end of the team\u2019s loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday night.<\/p>\n

Branch punched Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster after he snubbed Patrick Mahomes, who was going in for a handshake. It sparked a wild melee<\/a> that ended with Smith-Schuster\u2019s helmet off and players from both teams trying to separate the two.<\/p>\n

Branch said he was upset with being blocked in the back by Smith-Schuster in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n

“I did a little childish thing, but I’m tired of people doing stuff in between the play and refs don’t catch it,” Branch said. “They be trying to bully me out there and I don’t \u2014 I shouldn’t have did it. It was childish.”<\/p>\n

Branch faced criticism on social media as well.<\/p>\n

Lions head coach Dan Campbell also condemned Branch\u2019s actions.<\/p>\n

“I love Brian Branch, but what he did is inexcusable, and it’s not going to be accepted here. It’s not what we do. It’s not what we’re about,” Campbell said. “I apologized to coach (Andy) Reid and the Chiefs, and Smith-Schuster.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“That’s not OK. That’s not what we do here. It’s not going to be OK. He knows it. Our team knows it. That’s not what we do.”<\/p>\n

Branch is likely to face at least a big fine for his actions. He was hit with a $23,186 bill for face-masking and unsportsmanlike conduct penalties during a Week 1 game against the Green Bay Packers. He could also be suspended.<\/p>\n

Kansas City<\/a> won the game, 30-17.<\/p>\n
