No question about it, the connection between Goff and Amon-Ra is one of the best in the league. Over their last 19 games together, they’ve connected for 128 receptions for 1,431 yards and 15 touchdowns. Amon-Ra ranks 2nd in first down receptions over the last 19 games. #OnePride https://t.co/3xji13FRfz pic.twitter.com/yNmdrIyvGG

The video below features Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell discussing the chemistry between quarterback Jared Goff and wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown during a press conference on Monday. Campbell describes their relationship as an “art form,” emphasizing the trust and rapport they have developed over time.
Campbell pointed to St. Brown’s meticulous route-running and attention to detail as key factors that enhance Goff’s ability to anticipate throws. “The way that he runs his routes, he’s so crisp, so detailed,” Campbell noted, suggesting that St. Brown’s precision allows Goff to make accurate predictions about where the ball needs to be. This synergy, Campbell explained, is the result of extensive time spent working together, enabling St. Brown to execute his routes with confidence and Goff to deliver the ball with precision even before St. Brown completes his break.
Campbell’s praise for Goff and St. Brown is not just about their on-field performance but also about their potential to lead the offense through this period of transition. “They’ve just worked together for so long,” he said, noting that their experience together fosters a level of trust that is crucial for success. He described them as “two of our big studs,” playing as well as they can, which bodes well for the Lions’ offensive strategy moving forward.
Since Amon-Ra St. Brown arrived in Detroit, one thing has been consistent: him. As a rookie in 2021, St. Brown recorded 90 receptions for 912 yards and five touchdowns. In three straight seasons, he’s recorded over 100+ receptions and has 31 touchdowns. It’s clear that Amon-Ra has become Jared Goff’s number one target since being paired together after the 2021 NFL Draft.
Over their last 19 games together, they’ve connected for 128 receptions for 1,431 yards and 15 touchdowns. Amon-Ra ranks 2nd in first down receptions during that span. On Sunday, the connection between Goff and Amon-Ra was as strong as ever.
Against the Bears, we saw Amon-Ra catch 9 passes for 115 yards and 3 touchdowns. He did have two drops in week two but that’s rarely a concern for him. In his career, Amon-Ra has only dropped 19 passes (3.2%) on the 587 targets he’s seen but now the Lions prepare to travel to Baltimore.
The Ravens allow an average of 30.5 receptions for 306 yards per game. Both are the 2nd worst marks in the NFL. We’ll see if the connection between Goff and Amon-Ra stays strong as they get ready to play the Ravens in week 3 on Monday Night Football.
