Detroit Lions receiver Amon-Ra St Brown caught two touchdown passes in his German homecoming and Jahmyr Gibbs ran for 153 yards and two scores in a 35-10 win over the New England Patriots , who lost quarterback Drake Maye to an ankle injury on their opening drive Sunday.
The Lions (7-2) have won five straight games but also lost edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson, who appeared to hurt his knee while celebrating the sack that knocked Maye out of the game.

Jared Goff threw three touchdown passes, along with two interceptions, completing 20 of 31 passes for 303 yards. St Brown caught a 56-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter to give Detroit a 7-3 lead. And his 28-yard TD reception – after teammates pushed him over the goalline in a scrum with Patriots defenders – made it 28-3 in the third quarter
St Brown, who wore lederhosen for his arrival to the stadium, charged on to the field carrying a German flag. His mother is German and he spent childhood summers visiting the country.
In between, Goff found Isaac TeSlaa for a 12-yard touchdown pass and a 14-3 lead after a 97-yard drive, and Gibbs ran it in from five yards one play after he rumbled down the sideline for a 50-yard reception. Gibbs added a 28-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter to make it 35-10. He is the first NFL player since Priest Holmes in 2002 to produce more than 150 yards rushing with two rushing touchdowns and at least 95 yards receiving in a game.
The Patriots (5-5) have lost back-to-back games and three of their past four.
