Amon-Ra St. Brown went for a short but wild ride while his Detroit Lions beat up on the Denver Broncos in the first half of Saturday’s game.
Helping the Lions take a 21-0 lead late in the second quarter, St. Brown was wide open when he caught a pass from Jared Goff and had a clear path to the end zone. But as two Broncos defenders ran head-on at him, he took flight and leaped in the air over them.
However, what looked like a little contact on his feet sent him flipping over the goal line and into the end zone for a stunning touchdown.

He thankfully landed on his rear-end before bouncing right back up and immediately punting the ball away in celebration. And rightfully so because that was quite a play.
