On Sunday, Detroit Lions second-year wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown set several records, both for the franchise and league-wide. He became the first ever NFL player to record eight catches and a receiving touchdown in six straight games. He was the first Lion—and third NFL receiver—to reach 100 yards receiving, two receiving touchdowns and 50 rushing yards in a single game. And now, he’s earned some national recognition for his game against the Washington Commanders.
St. Brown was named NFC Offensive Player of the Week by the NFL on Wednesday. Against the Commanders, he built up quite the resume, hauling in nine catches for 116 yards, two touchdowns—plus another 68 yards in the run game.
