Amon Ra St. Brown caught his sixth touchdown, equaling his best from last NFL season.
The 24-year-old German-American scored in the Detroit Lions’ 33:28 win against the New Orleans Saints. After his touchdown and extra point in the first quarter, the Lions were already leading 21-0, but still had to fend for their ninth win of the season against the Saints. Even at St. Brown things didn’t go well after the good start. Only two caught passes out of six throws in his direction were the negative value of his season.
With nine wins and three defeats, the Lions have the best record after twelve games since 1962. You can plan on participating in the playoffs for the first time since the 2016/2017 season.
The Miami Dolphins, who won against the Washington Commanders 45:15, also have nine wins and three defeats. Dolphins pass receiver Tyreek Hill scored two touchdowns and extended his lead at the top of the leaderboard.
