The Detroit Lions were officially eliminated from playoff contention after a pitiful performance against the Minnesota Vikings on Christmas Day. With the season on the line in a must-win game, Jared Goff turned the ball over five times, helping Minnesota to a 23-10 victory.
And adding injury to insult, Amon-Ra St. Brown went down late in Detroit’s woeful loss. Trailing by two scores with just over a minute to play, the Lions went up tempo on offense. On 1st & 10 near midfield, Goff swung a pass to St. Brown in the left flat. The star wideout couldn’t secure the catch and he absorbed a big hit from behind courtesy of Byron Murphy Jr.
But St. Brown’s injury didn’t appear to be the result of Murphy’s hit. The All-Pro receiver landed awkwardly, seemingly hurting his knee. St. Brown remained down on the turf as Lions trainers checked on him. He was eventually able to walk off the field under his own power.
