Needless to say, it was a great day for Detroit Lions rookie wideout Amon Ra-St. Brown.
His game-winning touchdown reception as time expired gave the Lions their first victory of the 2021 season, and their first triumph in nearly one full calendar year (364 days to be exact).

And he etched himself into the team record books with 10 receptions on the afternoon, tying a team rookie WR record. Meanwhile, he now owns the team record for most receptions by a rookie wideout through 12 games with 49:
.@Lions WR @amonra_stbrown caught 10 passes today, tied for the most by a Lions rookie WR in a game.
His 49 receptions thru the first 12 games of his career are a record for a Lions rookie WR.
He is the first Lions rookie WR to score a walk-off TD since the merger.#OnePride pic.twitter.com/NDSxk6De5p
