Amon-Ra St. Brown Wants the Lions to Start Faster

Amon-Ra St. Brown wants the Detroit Lions to start faster after the team failed to score a touchdown on opening drives this season. Detroit faces the New York Jets on Sunday, Sept. 27, at 1 p.m. ET at Ford Field, aiming to change its early-game production. Through the Lions’ first two games, St. Brown has 19 catches for 209 yards and four touchdowns, averaging 11.0 yards per reception; he ranks first in the NFL in receptions and eighth in receiving yards. In a Wednesday interview on 97.1 The Ticket, he said Detroit needs to “possess the ball” more to keep its defense off the field. The Lions scored 31 points in each of their first two games, but punted on their opening possession both times.
