Detroit Lions star wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown earned sweet revenge on some rowdy Green Bay Packers fans Thursday night.

The Lions won 34-20, so this is how St. Brown responded at the end of the game

The 2022 Pro Bowler finished the Lions' win with season-lows in receptions (five) and receiving yards (56), but his first-quarter touchdown catch gave Detroit a lead they would never relinquish. Following his 24-yard grab-and-roll into the end zone, St. Brown took what ended up being an unexpectedly wet "Lambeau Leap."

The 23-year-old still paced the Lions in targets (seven) and receptions, while hauling in the only touchdown pass for reception for the victors. Detroit's offense was led by running back David Montgomery, who erupted for 121 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 32 carries (tying his career-high).
Nearly one-quarter of the way through the regular season, St. Brown is having another big year. He leads the Lions in targets (35), receptions (26) and receiving yards (331), while his two touchdown receptions are tied for the high mark on the squad.
Both of St. Brown's touchdown catches have come in primetime too, as he was the first player to hit paydirt during the 2023 season in Detroit's Week 1 win over the Kansas City Chiefs on "Thursday Night Football."
Behind Montgomery, St. Brown and quarterback Jared Goff on offense and defensive end Aidan Hutchinson (the 2022 second overall pick) on defense, the Lions have gotten off to a 3-1 start and lead the NFC North.
They host the currently winless Carolina Panthers in Week 5, before traveling to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 6.
