Amon-Ra St. Brown Is Lions' Highest PFF-Graded Offensive Player
The Detroit Lions put together a complete performance against the Jacksonville Jaguars, in Week 13, in front of their home fans.
Many have expressed that Detroit's defense forcing a turnover on the second play of the game set the tone for the rest of the contest. The Lions ended up beating the Jaguars handedly, 40-14.
"Absolutely, set the whole tone for the game. I mean, that’s how you start," said Lions head coach Dan Campbell. "Honestly, when you start a game that way, you go out there on defense, you get a takeaway, and then we turn it into points like that, seven points. And then, you come out in the third quarter, and your offense takes it all the way down for a touchdown. That’s how you got to start.
"Defense showed up, I thought. They played well. I got it right here, they were three-for-12 on third down, that’s good stuff," Campbell continued. "You get off the field. They really couldn’t get in a rhythm, because our guys played well. There again, this is one of those games where you can give out a game ball to a number of guys. Because there were a lot of guys who played well today.”

Wideout Amon-Ra St. Brown continues to shine, as he was the team's highest PFF-graded offensive player for the week.
In Week 13, Detroit's second-year wideout earned a 90.0 overall grade.
"I would say, from the start of the season, I was excited. Compared to last year, I knew this was a completely different team," said St. Brown. "But, when you show it and put it on the field for everyone to see, I think definitely for me, I’m excited for these next five weeks to see what we can do. We want to go on a run, we want to shake some things up. Even moving forward, even next year, I think Detroit’s in good hands.”
