Amon-Ra St. Brown powered the Detroit Lions to a 35-10 victory over the New England Patriots with two touchdowns during the NFL regular-season game in Munich.
DIE WELT reported that the wide receiver caught the opening pass from quarterback Jared Goff on the game’s first drive to break a five-game scoring drought. A crowd of 70,225 watched the matchup at the Allianz Arena, which marked the sixth regular-season NFL game played in Germany.
“Das war unglaublich – von Anfang bis Ende. So zu gewinnen ist ein Traum, der wahr wird,” Amon-Ra St. Brown told RTL.
St. Brown finished the contest with two touchdowns, adding his second score in the third quarter before celebrating by crawling through the end zone alongside his teammates. The victory lifts Detroit’s record to seven wins in nine games.
New England lost starting quarterback Drake Maye during the opening drive after a sack by Lions defender Aidan Hutchinson left the rookie with an ankle injury. Backup quarterback Tommy DeVito took over under center for the Patriots.
Hutchinson sustained a knee injury during his own celebration immediately following the sack.
The Patriots dropped their second straight contest following a 27-45 defeat against Green Bay.
Detroit spent decades as one of the league’s struggling franchises before head coach Dan Campbell engineered a steady roster rebuild. The organization drafted St. Brown in 2021 as part of that foundation.
“Er hat das Herz eines Löwen,” Dan Campbell said of the wide receiver. “Er ist so ein Typ: In den Momenten, wenn du ihn brauchst, ist er für dich da.”
The team departs Germany immediately following the game to catch a Sunday evening flight back to the United States.
