Brian Branch caused a melee after Sunday Night Football.
The Detroit Lions' safety will soon be facing a punishment because of it.
ESPN's Adam Schefter joined Get Up on Monday morning to share the latest.
"There will be, at the very least, significant fines and very possibly a suspension," Schefter said.

Branch's open-handed punch on Chiefs wideout JuJu Smith-Schuster was called "unacceptable" after the game by Lions coach Dan Campbell.
"I love Brian Branch, but what he did was inexcusable," Campbell said. "It's not going to be accepted here. It's not what we do. I apologize to coach (Andy) Reid and the Chiefs and Schuster. That's not OK. That's not what we do here, and it's not going to be OK. He knows it, our team knows it. That's not what we do."

Given the spotlight on the primetime game, it likely raises the magnitude for the NFL to get this decision right. That's especially true given the easily viral nature of such a video on social media.
It stings even a little worse for the Lions since they lost to the Chiefs. Kansas City appears to be hitting its stride, and Detroit couldn't quite keep up.
If they're missing Branch for some time in the weeks to come, that won't help the Lions bounce back, either.
