Amon-Ra St. Brown's German roots take center stage during Lions' Munich trip
Wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown is in the spotlight as the Detroit Lions prepare for their Week 10 matchup against the New England Patriots in Munich. St. Brown has strong ties to Germany, making the team's overseas trip especially meaningful.
MUNICH — - The Detroit Lions went to Germany and took care of business against the New England Patriots, but they lost edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson to an injury early in the international game.
Lions in Germany
The backstory:
The Lions offense had no trouble finding the end zone as Amon-Ra St. Brown made the most of his German homecoming, scoring two touchdowns in the team's 35-10 victory.
The win marked the Lions' fifth straight victory and improved their record to 7-2.
Both teams lose star players to injuries
Both teams saw their star players leave the game early in the first quarter after Hutchinson sacked Patriots quarterback Drake Maye.
After taking down Maye on third down, Hutchinson jumped into the air to celebrate but landed awkwardly and immediately grabbed his right knee.
Hutchinson walked off the field under his own power and visited the blue medical tent on the sideline before heading to the locker room.
Maye was helped to his feet and limped to the sideline before eventually walking to the locker room for further evaluation. Backup quarterback Tommy DeVito replaced him for the remainder of the game.
Both Hutchinson and Maye were listed as questionable to return by their respective teams.
