Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown likely had Week 10 circled on his calendar when the 2026 NFL schedule was released.
Not only are the Lions facing the defending AFC-champion New England Patriots on Sunday, but the contest will be taking place in Munich, Germany.
St. Brown's mother is originally from Germany and the four-time Pro Bowler holds dual American and German citizenship.

The 27-year-old has missed just two games across his five-plus NFL seasons and has suited up in 58 straight contests. The last time that St. Brown was sidelined was in Week 5 of the 2023 campaign.
The USC product has been battling a rib injury and was limited in practice all week leading up to Sunday's game but is listed as questionable for the contest.

Given St. Brown's durability and what Sunday's international contest likely means to him, it'd be a shock if the former fourth-round pick doesn't play versus the Patriots. Notably, he was listed as questionable for the team's Week 9 tilt against the Miami Dolphins with the same ailment, ultimately took the field and posted game highs in receptions (eight), receiving yards (86) and targets (10).
St. Brown played a season-low 44 offensive snaps versus Miami, but this could be his only chance to play an NFL contest in Germany and Detroit needs a victory.
Despite the Lions' 6-2 record and current four-game winning streak, they still trail the NFC North-leading Chicago Bears (7-2), are tied with the Minnesota Vikings (6-2) and just ahead of the Green Bay Packers (6-3).
St. Brown told reporters (including Lions reporter Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press) that he's ready to play on Sunday.
"I just want to say thank you to everyone that’s here. All the fans, I can’t wait for the game," the two-time first team All-Pro said on Friday. "I’m so excited to be playing football in Germany with my teammates. It’s really honestly a dream come true. I haven’t even played the game yet and it feels amazing. The love, the support, the energy. I can’t wait to see the fans so, yeah, I’m ready."
