Amon-Ra St. Brown Criticizes Christmas Game Scheduling as Lions Head to Vikings in Playoff Push

The Lions enter a must-win Christmas road game with their top receiver listed as questionable because of a knee issue.

Overview

  • Amon-Ra St. Brown told his podcast he is not a fan of playing on Christmas, citing lost family time and missing moments like kids opening gifts.
  • Detroit visits Minnesota for a 4:30 p.m. ET kickoff on Dec. 25, and St. Brown said the holiday travel makes the assignment tougher.
  • St. Brown is dealing with a knee injury and is officially questionable for the game, though he is expected to play barring a pregame setback.
  • Detroit’s playoff path requires winning its final two games and the Packers losing their last two, placing added pressure on the holiday matchup.
