The Detroit Lions are preparing to face the New England Patriots in Munich, Germany, as part of the NFL’s international schedule. The game has added significance for Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown, whose German heritage makes the trip feel like a homecoming.
St. Brown said he is looking forward to playing in front of Lions fans who traveled overseas to support the team. “All the fans, I can’t wait for the game,” he said. “I’m so excited to be playing football in Germany with my teammates. It’s really, honestly, a dream come true. I haven’t even played the game yet and it feels amazing. The love, the support, the energy. I can’t wait to see the fans, so yeah, I’m ready.”
Fluent in German, St. Brown has also helped his teammates navigate the language and local culture. He joked that they treat him like “a personal Google Translate,” asking how to say certain things and what foods to try. He said he has been teaching them about the culture and expects them to adapt.
