Detroit Lions star wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown has debuted a bold new look, dying his hair a striking blue ahead of his team’s highly anticipated playoff run.
The change comes as the Lions secured the top seed in the NFC with a stellar 15-2 record and their sights firmly set on the Super Bowl.
St. Brown was spotted courtside at the Detroit Pistons’ clash against the Golden State Warriors on Thursday night, where he showcased his revamped hairstyle.
Accompanied by teammate Jahmyr Gibbs, the Lions duo had front-row seats to witness a closely contested game that saw the Warriors edge the Pistons by three points. Steph Curry led Golden State with 17 points in the victory.

Lions Await Playoff Opponent After Dominant Regular Season
The Lions’ dominant performance throughout the regular season earned them the No. 1 seed in the NFC, granting them a first-round bye. With the weekend off, St. Brown and the rest of the team will be paying close attention to the wildcard matchups to determine their next opponent.
Detroit is set to face the lowest-seeded team that advances from the wildcard round, which could be the Los Angeles Rams, Minnesota Vikings, Washington Commanders, or Green Bay Packers.
However, they cannot meet higher-seeded teams like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers or Philadelphia Eagles until later in the playoffs.
Offensive Firepower Bolsters Detroit’s Hopes
The Lions’ offensive success this season has fueled optimism heading into the playoffs. Quarterback Jared Goff has been the anchor of an explosive unit featuring St. Brown and rookie standout Gibbs. The potential return of running back David Montgomery, who has been sidelined with a knee injury, provides an additional boost to Detroit’s already formidable lineup.
Concerns remain on the defensive side of the ball due to injuries to key players such as Aidan Hutchinson, Alim McNeill, and Carlton Davis III. Despite these setbacks, the Lions’ potent offense and depth have positioned them as strong contenders for a deep playoff run.
St. Brown‘s bold new hairstyle serves as a symbol of the team’s confidence and determination.
As Detroit gears up for its playoff journey, the energy and excitement surrounding the Lions continue to grow, with fans hopeful for a historic postseason performance.
