Strong Pro Bowl performance
German NFL star shines at the consolation event
February 5, 2024, 10:00 a.m
Amon-Ra St. Brown is having the best NFL season of his career. The Detroit Lions miss the Super Bowl, but the German-American is now showing off well at another event.
NFL professional Amon-Ra St. Brown also impressed at the Pro Bowl. The German-American from the Detroit Lions caught ten passes for 173 yards in the American Football League’s all-star event and scored a touchdown for the NFC team. The 24-year-old’s team won against the AFC team 64:59, with the results of a flag football game being added together with other competitions. The low-contact version of flag football will be Olympic for the first time in 2028 in Los Angeles.
On February 11th the mega spectacle of the year will take place: the Super Bowl. RTL and RTL+ will broadcast the game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers as well as the halftime show with megastar Usher.
The kick-off takes place on the night of Sunday to Monday at 12:30 a.m. according to Central European Time. The broadcast starts at 11:15 p.m.
St. Brown was called up by the Philadelphia Eagles to replace the injured AJ Brown. He had already taken part in the show event for the best NFL players of the season last year as a replacement.
St. Brown had previously been annoyed that he was not chosen directly for the event in Orlando, Florida, a week before the Super Bowl, because he has had a strong season. He set career highs with 119 caught passes in the regular season for 1,515 yards and 10 touchdowns.
Only two players had more passes caught and yards passed, and only three professionals had more touchdowns. In the playoff semifinals, Detroit and St. Brown narrowly failed against the San Francisco 49ers and thus missed out on a place in the Super Bowl. The outstanding player at the show event on the AFC side was receiver Keenan Allen from the Los Angeles Chargers. He excelled with three catches and one thrown touchdown.
