Detroit Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown 'better than gold'; Lions set fourth down conversion record

Amon-Ra St. Brown knew exactly how many yards he needed to break Roy Williams' franchise record for receiving yards by a rookie, and when he got them on his first catch of Sunday's game, he calmly tossed the ball to a ball boy and went back to work.

"I want to keep that ball," St. Brown said. "That’s something I’ll never forget."

St. Brown capped the best season by any rookie receiver in Detroit Lions history with a standout eight-catch, 109-yard performance in Sunday's 37-30 win over the Green Bay Packers.

He scored on a 2-yard pass from Jared Goff in the first half.
