Different week, same result for your Los Angeles Chargers defense, particularly their passing defense. No surprise here, Bolts fans. The 30th-ranked passing defense had trouble containing the fourth-best-passing offense in the league. 

It was a free-for-all all for all Lions pass catchers, including their Pro Bowl wide receiver and LA native Amon-Ra St. Brown. St. Brown has proven to be a threat in this league, and he's shown it all season long, and Sunday's contest was no different. 

The 24-year-old had his way with the Bolts' defense, and his teammates acknowledged his success after the game. 

"Pretty dang good," Goff said of St. Brown. "I feel as good with him as I've felt with anybody. He's a stud. He gets himself open. He has great hands. I think ultimately, I trust him. It's a credit to the way he practices and the way that he goes about his business."

Head coach Dan Campbell also recognized his star receivers' outing, saying he's as reliable as can be.

"He's a stud," Campbell said of his third-year wide receiver after he caught eight passes for a career-high 156 yards and a touchdown in Detroit's 41-38 win over the Los Angeles Chargers Sunday. "He just continues to make plays. I've said it before, and I'll say it again he is the most steady, reliable guy that you can find in this league. I'd love to know somebody who is more reliable than him because I don't know if there is."

St. Brown posted eight receptions for 156 yards, one touchdown, and an average of 19.5 yards per catch. It was his fourth straight game with 100+ yards, with the 156 on Sunday being his season high. 

LA couldn't stop the former USC Trojan, and they paid for it in a big way. The Chargers will now look to take down the NFC North Green Bay Packers.
