The Detroit Lions are entering the 2026 season with a chip on their shoulder, according to wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown. The team finished 9-8 last season, which did not meet the expectations of the fans, staff, or players.
Regaining the Edge
St. Brown believes the team has regained its edge and is motivated to get back to the playoffs. He stated that the team feels like it’s back in the underdog position, which they prefer. The Lions will start their journey back to the playoffs with the 2026 preseason opener against the Bengals.
St. Brown also shared his thoughts on the new season, saying that no one is talking about the Lions, but they are in training camp and the competition is fierce. He expressed his excitement about the team’s upcoming game in Munich, Germany, where they will face the New England Patriots. This game holds special meaning for St. Brown, as he is half-German and sees it as an opportunity to grow the game in Germany.
In addition to his football career, St. Brown is also involved in giving back to the community through the St. Brown Foundation, which he founded with his brothers. The foundation focuses on empowering students through literacy, global experiences, and health and wellness programs.
