Tom Brady’s LFG Player of the Game for Week 9: Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown

For each game he broadcasts during the 2024 NFL season all the way through Super Bowl LIX, FOX Sports lead NFL analyst Tom Brady is awarding his LFG Player of the Game to that one player he sees on the field who makes him say …

“LET’S F***ING GO!!!”

In Week 9, that honor went to a Detroit Lions star who talked the talk, then walked the walk in a huge 24-14 win over the Green Bay Packers: wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown. Detroit’s top pass-catcher showed up to Lambeau Field in a hoodie that read “Green Bay Sucks” — and then helped the Lions jump out to an early lead by catching a touchdown on a fourth-down route that even someone as well-versed in football as Brady said he had “never seen before.” Check out their full conversation here:

“We knew coming into this it would be a tough, tough game,” St. Brown told Brady. “They’re a good team, great defense, conditions that we typically don’t play in [since] we play indoors. We knew with the rain, it might be a more run-heavy game, but I think we’re built for that. We’ve got guys on our team, our [offensive] line, our running backs, we’ve got receivers that can block, tight ends, so we knew it was gonna be this type of game. I’m just glad we came out on top.”

It’s that unselfish play of the Lions that reminds Brady so much of the New England Patriots teams he helped guide to the greatest Super Bowl dynasty in NFL history, winning even in years when Brady himself did not have the best individual quarterback stats in the league. 

Although St. Brown’s individual stat line on Sunday — seven catches for 56 yards and that touchdown — might seem pedestrian at first glance, Brady is much more impressed by this one: St. Brown has recorded a catch on every single one of the last 30 targets he’s received from quarterback Jared Goff.
