Amon-Ra St. Brown scored his third touchdown of the season in the Detroit Lions’ dominant win against the Dallas Cowboys. His catch in the final quarter put the Lions up 47:9, a performance that also made a lasting impression on star quarterback Tom Brady as a TV expert.
The most successful NFL professional in history declared the Lions to be the strongest team in the league at the moment – ahead of the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs and Minnesota Vikings. “This is the most balanced team in the league offensively and defensively,” said Brady.
During a trick play at the end of which Sam LaPorta scored a touchdown and the Lions pulled ahead 17-3, Brady said: “If you don’t have fun watching it, then you don’t have a heartbeat.” St. Brown was involved in the scene with a short reverse pass. He finished with four caught passes for 37 yards.

Injury to top performers dampens mood
Please for the Lions the injury to defender Aidan Hutchinson, who broke his shin, will mean he will be out for a long time. He was treated on the pitch for minutes and then driven to the catacombs.
The Lions now have four wins in five games and will next face the Vikings. The Chiefs – Super Bowl winners of the past two years – will face the San Francisco 49ers next week.
