Detroit Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown fined by NFL

On Saturday, the NFL released its list of fines issued for Week 6, and Detroit Lions star wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown was among the players penalized. St. Brown was fined $11,255 for unsportsmanlike conduct, specifically taunting, in the fourth quarter of the Lions’ dominant 47-9 win over the Dallas Cowboys.

The penalty came at a time late in the game when emotions were running high and St. Brown joined in a celebration that league officials deemed excessive. Despite the hefty fine, the Lions fullback played a key role in helping his team win as Detroit continues its impressive 2024 season.

This incident did not diminish St. Brown’s impact on the field, where he was a key weapon for the Lions’ potent offense. However, it serves as a reminder that even in winning, the NFL enforces strict rules regarding sportsmanship and conduct.
