Painful evening for St. Brown and his coach

Coach Dan Campbell delivered the good news to Amon-Ra St. Brown at the post-game press conference: “He’s okay, I don’t think it’s long-term,” said the Detroit Lions coach about the condition of one of his most important football players. In the painful 16-20 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccanneers, St. Brown had a strong game and caught ten passes for a total of 110 yards – but was painfully taken down in two situations.

More than a possible training break for his number 14, Campbell was bothered by the chaos shortly before half-time, which in retrospect probably cost the Lions the victory: With no timeout and only a few seconds left on the clock, there were far too many players on the field due to poor communication when quarterback Jared Goff started. “That’s my fault, 100 percent,” said Campbell. Instead of the chance for a field goal and only four points behind, the team went into the break seven points behind.
