Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown has a German mother, speaks German and spent some of his childhood in Germany, so when the NFL sent the Lions to Munich, they knew he’d be a fan favorite. And it didn’t take St. Brown long to deliver.
On the Lions’ first possession, St. Brown caught a pass from Jared Goff, made the first tackler miss, cut back inside and raced to the end zone for a 56-yard touchdown.
The Lions completed two passes on the opening drive and St. Brown caught them both, for 63 yards.
Detroit has an early 7-3 lead over the Patriots.
