It didn’t take long for the Detroit Lions and Kansas City Chiefs’ Week 6 matchup to gain some spicy preseason heat—and it’s all thanks to Amon-Ra St. Brown.
As one of the most vocal and electric stars on the Lions’ roster, St. Brown isn’t just catching passes—he’s catching headlines. And this week, he stirred the pot big time with a comment that’s already rippling through NFL circles and KC timelines.
The Shot Heard Around the Podcast
While chatting with Houston Texans rookie receiver Jaylin Noel on his podcast, St. Brown didn’t hold back when the topic of Kansas City came up.
“I’ve been to Kansas City. I was there for the draft [in 2023],” he said. “Bro, I’m sorry. If you have money, like I’m not living there after I get some money.”
Yikes. That one hit harder than a mid-blitz sack.
Noel, a KC native himself, tried to defend his hometown with a smile—but even he ended up admitting there’s “more to do” in Dallas, where he’s moving soon.
So yeah, St. Brown probably knew what he was doing—and now, the whole NFL knows too.
Lions vs. Chiefs: Rematch Brewing
To be fair, this isn’t just trash talk for the sake of attention. The Lions and Chiefs already have history, and it’s fresh.
In the 2023 season opener, Detroit crashed the Chiefs’ Super Bowl celebration by sneaking out of Arrowhead with a 21-20 win—a signature moment in the Lions’ rise from lovable underdog to full-blown contender.
Now, with both teams among the early Super Bowl favorites in 2025 (DraftKings has them neck and neck at +800 odds), their October 12th clash is shaping up to be must-watch TV.
And thanks to St. Brown, KC’s bulletin board just got a little more crowded.
Why It Matters
This isn’t just about one quote or one podcast.
It’s about the Lions becoming that team: bold, brash, and ready to back it all up. St. Brown’s comments might tick off some Chiefs fans, but Detroit fans will eat it up—especially if he walks into Arrowhead and delivers again.
The matchup is still months away, but the temperature’s already rising. And if the past two seasons are any indication, the Lions don’t plan on cooling down anytime soon.
So go ahead, circle October 12th on your calendar.
Amon-Ra St. Brown just made sure it won’t be boring.
