Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown earns player of the week honors

Allen Park — Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown is on one heck of a hot streak, and for his more recent performance against the Washington Commanders, he's been named the NFC's Offensive Player of the Week.

In Sunday's 36-27 victory over the Commanders, St. Brown hauled in nine passes for 116 yards and two touchdowns, while adding another 68 yards on two carries. His 58-yard gain on an end-around in the third quarter was a critical play in the game, kickstarting a touchdown drive that significantly hampered Washington's comeback effort in the contest.

The 116 receiving yards, two touchdowns and 184 yards from scrimmage were all career-highs for the second-year receiver out of USC.
