The Detroit Lions secured a 14-2 record with their victory over the San Francisco 49ers on Monday night. The game started off intense, with a scuffle occurring in the first quarter. San Francisco held an eight-point lead at halftime, but Detroit rallied in the second half, scoring 27 points to clinch the win.
Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown had an impressive performance, recording eight receptions for 60 yards and a touchdown. Following the game, the All-Pro wideout had a bold statement about the win. “We spanked these boys,” St. Brown said, according to SportsCenter on X. The fourth-year Pro Bowler finished the season with a career-high 12 touchdowns in 16 games.
Ahead of the Week 17 clash, there was no shortage of trash talk from both teams. San Francisco linebacker Fred Warner tried to rally his team by taking a jab at Lions head coach Dan Campbell in a pregame speech. Meanwhile, Detroit’s Za’Darius Smith was caught on camera sending an explicit remark to the 49ers. Right before the broadcast cut to a break, the veteran defensive end said, “Don’t get scared now, motherf**kers.”
