Amon-Ra St. Brown’s strong performance against the Dallas Cowboys has caused discontent among some fans. Some are now even calling for an investigation by the NFL.

Amon-Ra St. Brown shone in the NFC clash between the Detroit Lions and the Dallas Cowboys in Week 14 of the NFL. The 26-year-old caught six of nine passes for 92 yards.

This has caused discontent among some fans, who are now even calling for an investigation by the league on social media. The background to this is his publicly commented injury.

The German-American suffered an ankle injury in the Thanksgiving game against the Green Bay Packers, missed the rest of the game, and was unable to train until Tuesday.

But St. Brown was in the lineup against the Cowboys—and delivered. Many fans who play fantasy football or have placed bets are angry. Either they left him out of their lineup or bet on his backups.

Amon-Ra St. Brown justifies playing time

Head Coach Dan Campbell called the possible availability of his receiver a decision that was reevaluated every day. Some suspect this was purely a tactic to confuse the opponent. One fan wrote on X: “Amon-Ra was never injured! Investigate the Lions.” Another: “This is disgusting.” The next: “Everyone is betting on Williams and TeSlaa. And then suddenly Amon-Ra shows up.”

For many, the sudden activation felt like an unfair advantage. One fan suspects a big betting conspiracy: “So Vegas just wanted everyone to bet on Tom Kennedy and Isaac TeSlaa, just to report Amon-Ra as active an hour before kickoff? Got it.”

Brown justifies his spontaneous appearance: “No matter what our record was, whether we were undefeated or hadn’t won a game yet, I would have done anything to be there,” St. Brown said. “Just to be there for my guys.”

Fans want the facts to be investigated

Accordingly, there are calls online for the NFL to investigate the matter. The aim is to draw consequences for the team or those responsible, but this is unlikely.

Taking a break against the Cowboys was not an option: “I believe availability is ultimately the most important thing, so it’s my job to go out there, make plays, and be on the field. That’s what I’m paid to do, so I was willing to do whatever it took to be there.”

With 511 catches in his first five NFL seasons, St. Brown also set a record against Dallas, surpassing Michael Thomas, who previously held the record with 510 catches in his first five seasons.

Campbell was impressed. “He’s unmatched. Someone like him is really rare. His attitude simply forbids him to fail. Nothing will dictate where he goes, what he does or how it will be. He will decide for himself what he will do,” emphasized the head coach.
