Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown racked up 9 receptions, 115 yards, and 3 TDs in Sunday's 52-21 victory over the Bears. St. Brown's 11 targets led his nearest teammate by seven, and he accounted for huge market shares:
The performance marked a nice rebound for St. Brown and the Detroit offense on whole.
Chicago finished last season as the No. 13 defense in DVOA against the pass. We'll see how good the Bears prove to be this year. The first two weeks have each included key injuries in the secondary, including slot CB Kyler Gordon missing both games.
That obviously helped the matchup for St. Brown in Week 2. But it's also encouraging to see such a dominating target share for Detroit's lead receiver in his second game under new OC John Morton.
Jameson Williams and Sam LaPorta tied for second on the team with four targets apiece Sunday. TE Brock Wright and RB Jahmyr Gibbs followed with three each.
St. Brown and the Lions get a tougher matchup at Baltimore in Week 3, and then another potentially challenging spot against the Browns in Week 4.
