When Amon-Ra St. Brown hit the end zone on Sunday, he didn’t just score a touchdown — he sparked a national conversation. The Detroit Lions were already steamrolling the Washington Commanders 44–22, but it was St. Brown’s touchdown celebration — the now-viral “Trump dance” — that stole the show.
The Dance Heard Around the NFL
With Donald Trump in attendance, the Lions star wideout decided to have some fun. Cameras caught him doing the dance, and within minutes, the clip was everywhere. Some fans thought it was hilarious; others found it controversial. Either way, it was the moment everyone talked about after the game.
St. Brown didn’t shy away from the spotlight. He owned the moment and even laughed about it later on his podcast.
“If I Offended Anyone, I Do Apologize”
On the latest episode of his show, St. Brown addressed the viral celebration head-on:
“If I offended anyone, I do apologize. … If any President was at that game, if they had a dance, I would have done it.”
That pretty much sums up his attitude — equal parts playful and respectful. He wasn’t trying to make a political statement, just soaking in the moment and giving fans something memorable.
Production That Backs It All Up
Behind the headlines, St. Brown’s season continues to speak for itself. Against Washington, he caught five passes for 58 yards and a touchdown, averaging 11.6 yards per catch.
On the season, he’s up to 64 receptions, 693 yards, and eight touchdowns — clear proof that his game is doing most of the talking.
Fans React — and Move On
As expected, social media lit up. Some praised him for being bold, others rolled their eyes. But for most, it was just another fun NFL moment in a season where the Lions keep proving they’re for real.
In the end, Amon-Ra St. Brown reminded everyone that football can still have personality — and sometimes, even a little humor in the end zone.
