Every season comes with a storyline that spirals way beyond reality — and for the Lions this week, that wild narrative is the idea that Amon-Ra St. Brown suddenly has a “drop problem.”
Let’s be honest: it’s laughable.
One or two missed catches in a primetime game turned into an online debate, but the numbers tell the truth — Amon-Ra is still one of the surest, most reliable, most consistent receivers in the NFL. His catch percentage ranks among the league’s best, his hands are elite, and he continues to be Jared Goff’s lifeline in the toughest moments.
Every great receiver has an off play. Amon-Ra has earned more than enough respect to move past this “drop” conversation like the non-story it is.
He’s still the heart of Detroit’s offense, still one of the hardest-working receivers in football, and still the guy defenders hate lining up against.
Sometimes fans and analysts reach for drama. This one? Pure comedy.
