Lions' St. Brown 'pissed' about Pro Bowl omission
Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown was agitated about not being selected for the Pro Bowl.
"I'm pissed," St. Brown said, according to Kyle Meinke of MLive.
He added: "The receivers that got picked are great players, but I was hot."
The wideouts selected over St. Brown in the NFC were A.J. Brown, CeeDee Lamb, Puka Nacua, and Mike Evans.
St. Brown is having his best season since entering the league in 2021, as he is set to hit career highs in targets, catches, receiving yards, and touchdowns. He is tied for second in the NFL in receptions with Tyreek Hill. They trail Lamb heading into Week 18.
The 24-year-old's emergence as one of the best pass catchers in the league has helped the Lions become one of the league's most dangerous teams. Detroit's offense ranks third in yards per game and fifth in points per contest, and is the main reason the club secured its first division title since 1993.
"I guess I didn't do enough during the season," St. Brown said, per Meinke. "I guess I have to go harder."
Detroit will at least be the No. 3 seed in the NFC playoffs and can get the No. 2 seed with a victory over the Minnesota Vikings, plus losses from the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys in Week 18.
St. Brown has 112 receptions for 1,371 yards and nine touchdowns in 15 games this season.
