The third-year wide receiver celebrated the catch with a Lambeau Leap into the arms of a group of Lions fans in the stadium. St. Brown scored his 13th career touchdown reception in his 37th career game, which is tied for the fifth-most touchdown catches in that many games by a Lions player in franchise history.

After missing last week with a thigh injury, running back David Montgomery returned to the starting lineup to help the Lions march down the field again on their next possession.
He punched in a 3-yard goal-line score with 2:54 remaining in the first quarter to put the Lions ahead 14-3.
