There is a ton of past between the Dallas Cowboys and Detroit Lions from the previous season. The contentious game that took place in Dallas gave rise to other mini-stories in addition to the notorious finale.
After the fact, one of them came to light. In an interview to promote the Netflix series “Receiver,” Amon-Ra St. Brown disclosed that Jourdan Lewis made some “out of pocket” remarks during the previous year’s game on “The Pivot” podcast.
Naturally, St. Brown brought up the back-and-forth before the two teams’ Week 6 matchup on Sunday.

“It was difficult for me to come up with a single player who talks the most smack when they asked me,” St. Brown remarked. “He kind of stuck out because I did not get many comments from people last year. He was one of the guys that stood out to me since, as I mentioned earlier, I do not say things to most people.
Before the game, media from Dallas also questioned Lewis about the exchange. He clarified that the trash-talking was a necessary aspect of playing the game.

“I just want to go out there and play good ball, honestly,” Lewis said. Since they are a strong team, I simply want to go out there and get ready, but if he takes the fight to me, then that is what it is.
The wide receivers on the team, according to St. Brown, are not scared to talk trash when it comes to football, but they would rather when they are the ones being targeted first.
He added that he has not noticed a notable shift in the amount of conversation between teams and players since joining the league, with players frequently beginning the season talking a lot and then progressively cutting back as they become older.
“I would not say that. In my opinion, younger players tend to chat more than older ones because, as we get older in this league, we learn to value the work that players do and the weekly tasks that we have to complete,” St. Brown stated. “The guys that talk first are the ones who get spoken back to, I would not say that is changed from my rookie year to now.
