Watch: Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown scores 27-yard TD
After missing one game with an abdomen injury, Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown is back and making big plays.
With 2:39 left in the second quarter, Lions quarterback Jared Goff connected with the 23-year-old wideout on a short pass and he took it to the house for a 27-yard TD, giving Detroit a 10-3 lead over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Surprisingly, Detroit has emerged as one of the most dynamic offenses in the NFL. Through five games, the Lions are fourth in points scored (29.6) and ninth in passing yards (243.4). St. Brown is one of the unit's best playmakers. Entering Week 6, he had 26 receptions for 331 yards and two touchdowns.
The former fourth-round pick out of USC made his first Pro Bowl last season. If he continues to produce, he will make another while helping the 4-1 Lions continue to exceed expectations. They're first in the NFC North and have a strong chance to make the playoffs this season.
