ALLEN PARK, Mich. — Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown clarified that he wasn’t playing NBA 2K26 late Sunday night before the team’s Week 4 matchup against the Cleveland Browns. A clip showing his gaming profile online at 4 a.m. went viral, but St. Brown attributed the login to a friend using his account. He addressed the issue after Thursday’s practice and emphasized that it did not impact his on-field performance; he caught all seven targets for 70 yards and two touchdowns during the Lions’ 34-10 victory over the Browns, improving their record to 3-1.
St. Brown later discussed the incident on his “St. Brown Podcast.” He noted the pressures of public scrutiny that come with being an NFL player, saying he balances having fun with his responsibilities as a professional athlete. St. Brown also highlighted that he understands the excitement that fans bring to the game and is aware of his growing fame since high school.
Entering the upcoming game against Cincinnati, St. Brown has 39 receiving touchdowns in over four seasons, just one short of reaching 40, a milestone achieved by only two players in Lions history.
- Why it matters: St. Brown’s performance showcases the importance of maintaining focus and professionalism in high-pressure sports environments. His ability to handle both public scrutiny and athletic responsibilities can serve as a model for other athletes.
- The latest: St. Brown is one touchdown away from becoming the third Lions player with at least 40 receiving touchdowns.
