What a moment!
Amon-Ra St. Brown, the Detroit Lions wide receiver, celebrated a game-winning touchdown during the third quarter of the team’s 38-30 win over the Baltimore Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium on Monday night.
While fans tuned in to “Monday Night Football,” St. Brown’s hot mic moment captured attention—his outburst was raw and unfiltered.
“I’ll do this s-t,” he exclaimed, using a racial slur in the heat of the moment.
St. Brown, aged 25, scored on an 18-yard touchdown pass from Jared Goff, bringing the score to 21-21 with just over five minutes left in the third quarter.
Reflecting on his celebration, he noted that it stemmed from adrenaline, saying it was a high-pressure moment and, well, maybe he went a bit too far.
“Please forgive me for my language,” he stated, adding that he was just excited about the game. “It was a significant play that we really needed at that moment, and I was just full of emotion and a little too pumped up.”
The Lions then pushed ahead in the fourth quarter, quickly taking a 31-24 lead with under two minutes to go.
Later, Goff connected with St. Brown again on a 20-yard pass that extended the drive and led to another crucial touchdown that sealed the game.
St. Brown recorded seven receptions on eight targets, totaling 77 yards, marking one of the notable touchdowns in Lions franchise history.
The Lions (2-1) are set to face the Cleveland Browns (1-2) at Ford Field this Sunday.
