Before Chicago Bears vs. Detroit Lions game, NFL brothers playfully trash talk each other
When the Chicago Bears and Detroit Lions meet Sunday, brothers Equanimeous and Amon-Ra St. Brown will find themselves on opposite sides of the field.
The brothers appeared on the YouTube channel The 33rd Team and shared plenty of friendly smack talk as both made a case for their respective teams to pull out a win.
For older brother Equanimeous St. Brown, a receiver for Chicago, he said the Bears are "going to put up at least 30." He might not be far off. Chicago averaged 31.3 points in the last three games. They've faced some tough defenses in the Dallas Cowboys, New England Patriots and Miami Dolphins.
Now, they're facing the worst defense in the NFL. The Lions have allowed 417.3 yards per game, but are coming off their best defensive performance in a while, holding Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers to nine points.
"I don't know how the Lions are going to stop us," Equanimeous St. Brown said.
He boasted about Chicago's top rushing attack, averaging 195.4 yards per game. But Amon-Ra St. Brown, who is a wideout for Detroit, quipped back: "What's your pass offense?"
Spoiler alert: Not good. The Bears are averaging 125.7 passing yards per game, which is far and away the worst in the league.
"All we've gotta do is stop the run," Amon-Ra St. Brown said. "Easy game plan. We'll focus on that: stop the run."
"That's what a lot of people say," Equanimeous St. Brown shot back.
And, to Equanimeous St. Brown's point, no one's been able to stop them yet. And now, the Bears have unlocked something special with quarterback Justin Fields' playmaking ability.
The Lions are second-lowest in the league in rushing defense, allowing 148.8 yards per game. Rookie defensive end Aidan Hutchinson has had a standout year with 4.5 sacks so far, but Detroit's defense also might be hindered this week as linebacker Malcolm Rodriguez is "day-to-day" with an arm injury.
