Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: 'Never forget' Germany trip - ESPN
MUNICH — Amon-Ra St. Brown wore lederhosen, carried a German flag onto the field, and then went out and scored two touchdowns.
Talk about a homecoming.
The German-speaking St. Brown, whose mother is from Leverkusen, said it has been a trip he'll «never forget.»

Jared Goff threw three touchdown passes, along with two interceptions, completing 20 of 31 passes for 303 yards.
St. Brown caught a 56-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter to give Detroit a 7-3 lead. And his 28-yard TD reception — after teammates pushed him over the goal line in a scrum with Patriots defenders — made it 28-3 in the third quarter.
St. Brown, who wore lederhosen for his arrival to the stadium, charged onto the field carrying a German flag. St. Brown and his two brothers spent many summers in their childhood visiting the country.
In between St. Brown's scores, Goff found Isaac TeSlaa for a 12-yard touchdown pass and a 14-3 lead after a 97-yard drive, and Gibbs
