St. Brown featured in creative Lions screen play for key 3rd-and-8 conversion

St. Brown was featured in a creative Lions offensive play design in Week 8 against Minnesota, lined up 15 yards behind the line of scrimmage to receive a screen pass on a critical 3rd-and-8 conversion. The play, modeled after CFL rules, showcased Detroit's continued offensive creativity and St. Brown's role as a star receiver in the Lions' passing game even after the departure of former OC Ben Johnson.
