Watch: Lions DB Brian Branch scores a TD in his NFL debut

Brian Branch Lions NFL Patrick Mahomes Detroit (Organization)

Lions rookie defensive back Brian Branch had himself one heck of a “welcome to the NFL” moment. The second-round rookie from Alabama scored on a pick-six in the third quarter of Detroit’s opener in Kansas City.

It could not have come at a better time for the Lions. Trailing 14-7, Branch reached back behind him to snatch a deflected pass that went off the hands of Chiefs wide receiver Kadarius Toney. Branch secured the tip-drill INT and motored 50 yards into the end zone for the game-tying score.
