Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown headlines homecoming game in Munich against Patriots

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown headlines Sunday's NFL game in Munich against the New England Patriots, marking the team's first international game since 2015 and a homecoming for the German-descended star. St. Brown, whose mother Miriam is German, has long dreamed of playing in her homeland and serves as the NFL's primary marketing tool for the event. The Lions acquired Germany's international rights in April 2024, and the game sold out faster than any international contest in league history. St. Brown's father John, who added "St." to the family name, has anticipated this moment for 15 years. The three-time All-Pro receiver answered questions in English, German and French at Friday's news conference, while teammates and coach Dan Campbell expressed eagerness to win for him.
