With the win, the Chiefs improved to 3-3, and their record improved to .500. Patrick Mahomes recorded his 302nd career touchdown pass, including the postseason, becoming the fastest player in NFL history to reach 300 touchdown passes. He accomplished the feat in just 139 games, eight fewer than the previous record holder, Aaron Rodgers. ^[29]

At the end of the game, Mahomes attempted to give a high-five to Lions safety Brian Branch as they met near midfield. However, Branch walked past Mahomes without acknowledging him. Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster confronted Branch over that. In response, Branch threw a right hook that knocked Smith-Schuster to the ground, sparking a fight. ^[30] The NFL later announced that Branch would be suspended one game for his actions. ^[31]
