By Sunday 
The Detroit Lions are rolling, and a big reason why is the unstoppable bond between quarterback Jared Goff and wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown. Sure, the scoreboard read 34-10 over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, but the real story came from a duo that seems to be rewriting the Lions’ playbook week after week.
Goff Wants More — Even After Two Scores
Goff wasn’t just satisfied with the win. Despite hitting St. Brown on all seven of his targets for 70 yards and two touchdowns, the veteran QB still felt like he left plays on the field.
“He’s playing well. Would’ve loved to get him more involved a little bit today,” Goff admitted. “Yeah, had those two touchdowns — the second one he really had to work for. The first one was kind of a freebie and him and I will both take those.”
That’s the thing about this connection — even when it looks perfect, Goff wants it sharper.
St. Brown in Elite Company
Coming off offseason knee surgery, St. Brown has stormed into 2025 with fire. His six touchdowns through four games put him right behind Calvin Johnson’s legendary 2011 start. That’s not just impressive — that’s historic.
He’s also the first NFL player since 2018 to pull off this kind of scoring streak in the first four games of a season. If you’re keeping track, that’s rare air.
The “Art Form” Connection
Head coach Dan Campbell summed it up best:
“That will always be a security blanket, man. Those two guys, what they’ve got, the rapport they have, the connection they have, it’s special.”
Call it trust, call it timing, or just call it chemistry — it’s obvious. Whether it’s a simple slant or a clutch 20-yarder in crunch time, Goff and St. Brown are operating on the same frequency.
Beyond the Stats
What makes this bond so special is the way they talk about each other. Goff calls St. Brown “a quarterback’s best friend.” St. Brown says Goff is “everything you want in a quarterback.” That mutual respect translates into plays that keep defenses guessing and Lions fans believing.
The Lions are now 3-1, scoring 137 points across their first four games. If this connection keeps growing, Detroit won’t just be winning — they’ll be making serious noise in the NFC.
