The Detroit Lions beat the Cleveland Browns 34-10 on Sunday to improve to 3-1 for the third straight season. After leading the Lions in receiving in its 38-30 win over the Baltimore Ravens on Monday, wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown led the way for Detroit once again against the Browns, as he joined Lions royalty with his performance.

In Sunday's win, St. Brown collected seven catches for 70 yards and two touchdowns. St. Brown has recorded a touchdown reception in three straight games for the Lions and has six total on the year.

Amon-Ra St. Brown makes Detroit Lions history with performance against the Cleveland Browns

St. Brown joined two former Lions wide receivers to reach five touchdown receptions through the first four games of an NFL season. He joins former Lions Hall of Fame wide receiver Calvin Johnson and Leonard Thompson as the only Detroit players at his position to reach that mark.

Johnson had eight touchdown receptions through four games to start the 2011 season, and Thompson recorded five in 1984.

St. Brown also became the first NFL wide receiver since Randy Moss in 2007 to record at least 25 receptions, 300 receiving yards, and six touchdowns through the first four games in a season. He also became the ninth player in NFL history to reach that mark.

St. Brown's performance led the way for the Lions offensively

St. Brown's two-touchdown performance came on a day when the Lions offense didn't show the same firepower that they did against the Ravens. Browns defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz's defense forced stops against the Lions early on, holding them to two field goals in the first half. Browns linebacker Devin Bush led Cleveland defensively with nine total tackles.

The Browns also forced Jared Goff to throw an interception early in the second half and recorded a fourth-down stop. Goff finished the game throwing 168 passing yards, two touchdowns (both to St. Brown), and an interception on 16-of-27 passing.
