After the Chicago Bears blew a 12-point lead in Sunday’s 31-26 loss to the Detroit Lions, Detroit wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown didn’t waste the opportunity to get a dig in at the expense of his brother, Bears receiver Equanimeous St. Brown.
During this week’s episode of the St. Brown Bros podcast, Amon-Ra called Equanimeous and the rest of the Bears “choke artists.”
The Bears appeared to be on the verge of a major upset when they took a 26-14 late in the fourth quarter, but in a stunning turn of events, they allowed 17 unanswered points over the final three minutes of the game to allow the Lions to escape with the victory. Chicago fell to 3-8 while Detroit improved to 8-2 and remains in the driver’s seat to clinch an NFC North title.
Equanimeous admitted to being surprised by the final result, saying he expected to be the one trash-talking during the podcast.
“Of course, there was not one point where I was like, ‘We’re not gonna win this game,'” Equanimeous said. “I was already thinking about this podcast. I was ready to light you up.”
In addition to the victory, Amon-Ra had the better individual performance out of the two brothers. He led Detroit with eight catches, 77 yards and a touchdown, while Equanimeous recorded two receptions for 19 yards.
Amon-Ra and the Lions will be back in action on Thanksgiving Day in another division matchup against the Green Bay Packers. Equanimeous and the Bears will also face a division foe when they visit the Minnesota Vikings on Monday Night Football.
