Football surprise – First defeat for St. Brown and Lions in NFL – Sport

Detroit (dpa) – Despite a strong performance by Amon-Ra St. Brown, the Detroit Lions suffered their first defeat of the season in the NFL. The hosts reported against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at 4:20 p.m. and had one win and one loss after two games in the National Football League. After an unremarkable start a week ago, St. Brown had 110 yards after catching ten passes. Only Chris Godwin of the Buccaneers was stronger, recording 117 yards after passing and one touchdown. The Lions are among the Super Bowl candidates this season, and the loss to Tampa Bay is a setback.

The San Francisco 49ers are once again among the title contenders, but they suffered a defeat against the Minnesota Vikings. In the 17:23 game, Vikings star Justin Jefferson scored a 97-yard touchdown, but later had to leave the field due to an injury.

Ravens start the season with two defeats

The highly-rated Baltimore Ravens are having a difficult start to the season. After their opening loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, quarterback Lamar Jackson’s team unexpectedly lost to the Las Vegas Raiders 23:26, giving up a 13-point lead.

Jakob Johnson from Stuttgart made his debut for the New York Giants, but lost to the Washington Commanders led by the German-American Brandon Coleman 18:21.
