American Football - St. Brown improves German touchdown record in the NFL

Amon-Ra St. Brown set a touchdown record for German professional footballers in the NFL in the Detroit Lions' tenth win of the season. In the Lions' 42:17 win over the Denver Broncos, the 24-year-old scored his seventh touchdown of the season and improved on his best score from the previous NFL season.

With three games left to play, the pass receiver can extend his haul even further. More importantly, with their tenth win of the season, the Lions have all but secured their place in the play-offs and, depending on the results of their rivals on Sunday and Monday, could do so before their next game against the Minnesota Vikings on Christmas Eve.

"Our goal is to win the division and that's why we have to beat the Vikings next week," St. Brown told the German Press Agency. St. Brown had by far the biggest gain of the game with 112 yards passing, but was still overshadowed by his teammate Sam LaPorta. The NFL rookie scored three touchdowns and now has nine this season.

"Were all in a tunnel"

St. Brown himself has not yet reached his personal goal. "I'm not done yet," he said. "It felt like we could do whatever we wanted. We were all in a tunnel on offense, which was fun," quarterback Jared Goff said. He had a strong game with five touchdown passes and no missed passes.

For the Lions, the third-longest drought in the NFL is coming to an end; Detroit has not been in the playoffs since 2016. St. Brown has played a big part in the upswing. How good the starting position in the playoffs will be depends on whether the Lions can defend first place in the NFC North. After two defeats from three games recently, the lead had melted away. "The situation wasn't so good. But we knew we were a good team and we believed in ourselves," said St. Brown.

The Vikings' defeat against the Cincinnati Bengals helped the Lions' chances. Minnesota lost 24-27 after overtime and now has seven wins and seven losses. Two of the three remaining NFL games are duels between the Lions and the Vikings.
