On Sunday, October 8th, 2025, the Detroit Lions traveled to Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, to take on the Chiefs. It was a frustrating night for the Lions, as they were thoroughly dominated on both sides of the ball by the home team.
The Chiefs' offense had no trouble moving the ball, racking up 355 total yards, while the Lions' usually prolific offense was held to less than half its season scoring average. Jared Goff finished with just 203 passing yards for Detroit, though he did connect with Jameson Williams and Sam LaPorta for touchdowns.
As the Chiefs celebrated their 30-17 victory, a scuffle broke out between Lions safety Brian Branch and Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster. Branch threw a punch that knocked Smith-Schuster to the ground, and the two players had to be separated by teammates and coaches. Branch, who had been dealing with an ankle injury, could now face a fine or suspension for his actions.
The loss snapped a four-game winning streak for the Lions, who were unable to mount a comeback in the fourth quarter despite their best efforts. It was a frustrating end to the night for Detroit, which had been hoping to pull off a rare feat by winning two consecutive games at Arrowhead Stadium.
