Lions Star Makes Big Appearance Change Before 1st Playoff Game
The Detroit Lions finished the regular season with a 15-2 record and secured the No. 1 seed in the NFC. They defeated the Minnesota Vikings 31-9 in Week 18 to gain this advantage and have the week off to rest.
The Lions made it to the NFC Championship Game last postseason, where they fell to the San Francisco 49ers. They are hoping this time is different and Ford Field will be rocking when the Divisional Round kicks off.
During the bye week, receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown decided to dye his hair Honolulu blue to represent the team's colors.
Lions News: Amon-Ra St. Brown Dyes Hair Once Again
This is the second year in a row that St. Brown decided to do this. Last year before the playoffs, St. Brown dyed his hair that same color. The Lions ended up beating the Los Angeles Rams 24-23 in the Wild Card Round. They then defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 31-23 in the Divisional Round.
Last season, the USC product explained why he did it in the first place on his podcast. He said, "Before camp, I was like 'If we make the playoffs, I'm dyeing my hair. And sure enough...we made it...it wasn't like a stress for us. So I was like, f***. I'm a man of my word unlike others so I dyed my hair."
Regardless of St. Brown's hair color, he is one of the best playmakers in the league. He finished second in the NFL in receptions (115), fifth in receiving yards (1,263), and third in receiving touchdowns (12).
Detroit's passing attack runs through him, and he's ready to help his team secure wins. During last year's playoffs, St. Brown had 22 catches for 274 yards and one score.
He'll seek to have another stellar postseason as the Lions chase their first-ever Super Bowl title.
