Getty Amon-Ra St. Brown celebrates a touchdown by jumping into the crowd at Lambeau Field.
Amon-Ra St. Brown didn’t exactly get the warmest welcome from Green Bay Packers fans when he tried his hand at the Lambeau Leap.
The Detroit Lions wide receiver caught the go-ahead touchdown in the first quarter of Thursday’s 34-20 win, then jumped into the crowd to celebrate with a group of Lions fans sitting in the front row. As a now-viral video showed, one nearby Packers fan apparently wasn’t thrilled to see the rival player adopting the home team’s celebration.
Amon-Ra St. Brown Hits the Shower
As St. Brown was celebrating his touchdown with Lions fans early in the September 28 game, the Amazon Prime broadcast caught one Packers fan apparently showering him with beer.
The incident drew some viral attention, with many sharing screenshots of the beer shower with some calling out the Packers fan for their bad behavior.
“D**n, a #Packers fan was pouring beer on Amon Ra St Brown after his TD… Not cool at all,” one person wrote on X.

Well, a classless Packers fan decided to get in on the moment by pouring beer all over St. Brown during his touchdown celebration.
Cory Woodroof of USA Today’s For The Win called out the fan, saying it was an ugly moment for the NFL.
“After Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown scored a touchdown in the first quarter against the team’s away game against the Green Bay Packers, St. Brown decided to do the ‘Lambeau Leap’ into a host of Detroit fans,” Woodroof wrote.
“Well, a classless Packers fan decided to get in on the moment by pouring beer all over St. Brown during his touchdown celebration. It’s just another example of why moments like this might not be long for the NFL if people in the crowd can’t get their acts together.”
Woodroof speculated that the fan was likely kicked out of the game for the beer dump, though there were no reports of what happened in the aftermath of the incident.
Others believed that St. Brown should have expected some animosity by jumping into enemy territory, with some calling his celebration disrespectful.

“Don’t lambeau leap in GB if you aren’t in a green and gold jersey. Beyond disrespectful,” a fan wrote on X.
And some questioned why a fan would waste an expensive beer on a rival player.
St. Brown Helps Lions Earn Big Win
The Lions took a 7-3 lead with St. Brown’s touchdown and never looked back, building a 27-3 halftime lead and holding off a fourth-quarter rally to hold on for the victory. Lions running back David Montgomery helped Detroit control the pace of the game, taking 32 carries for 121 yards and scoring three rushing touchdowns. The Lions had 210 total rushing yards in the game.
The Lions’ defense also hounded Packers quarterback Jordan Love, sacking him five times and forcing two interceptions. The Lions have now put together two straight defensive gems as they are coming off a game where they sacked Atlanta Falcons quarterback Desmond Ridder seven times.
The Lions moved to 3-1 with the victory, sending the Packers to 2-2 and taking control of the NFC North.
