SAD NEWS : Detroit lion technical director has been sack over a fight with Amon-Ra St. Brown due to …..
The Detroit Lions’ technical director was fired because of an altercation with Amon-Ra St. Brown.
Amon-Ra St. Brown is wrapping up a career season in Detroit, but he was heated Thursday afternoon.
The Lions star wide receiver was not selected to the NFC’s Pro Bowl team this season. Instead, Brown is the first alternate.
“The receivers that got picked, they’re great players, but I was hot,” St. Brown said, via ESPN’s Eric Woodyard. “I guess I didn’t do enough during the season, so I’ve got to go harder.”
Headed into Sunday’s regular-season finale, St. Brown has racked up 1,371 yards and nine touchdowns on 112 catches this season, all of which are career bests. He has had eight 100-yard receiving games this season, too, which has him tied with both Dallas Cowboys receiver CeeDee Lamb and Miami Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill for most in the league.
Perhaps more importantly for Lions fans, however, St. Brown helped lead the team to its first division title since 1993, which means the Lions will host their first playoff game in 30 years later this month.
Moore had a career-high 1,300 yards and eight touchdowns with the Bears this season, though they’ve been eliminated from the playoffs already. Aiyuk has 1,317 yards, seven touchdowns and a career-high 18.3 yards per reception this season with the 49ers, who have locked up the No. 1 seed in the NFC.
Hill, Cleveland’s Amari Cooper, the Chargers’ Keenan Allen and Cincinnati’s Ja’Marr Chase were the four wide receivers selected for the Pro Bowl in the AFC.
Two-year defensive end Aidan Hutchinson and rookie tight end Sam LaPorta were among the five Lions players selected to the Pro Bowl. With nine players, including eight starters, selected to the Pro Bowl, the 49ers had the most number in the league. Both the Cowboys and the Baltimore Ravens had seven players.
In the final game of the regular season, the Lions (11-5) will play the Minnesota Vikings (7-9) on Sunday.
