Here’s some brotherly trash talk from Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown. He shares a podcast with his brother Equanimeous St. Brown, who joined the New Orleans Saints this offseason, and while trading barbs on a recent episode he quipped that “No one in your (expletive) room thinks they’re going to win a Super Bowl.”
Amon-Ra actually kicked off the episode expressing excitement his brother was on the Saints because he can talk trash about another team now; last season, Equanimeous played for the Lions’ division-rival Chicago Bears. This time it was about New Orleans’ Super Bowl hopes.
Equanimeous pushed back on this statement a couple of times. He initially stated the Saints do believe they can win and then turned to the up-and-down nature of the NFL. Equanimeous pointed to the Lions’ quick ascent to contenders. He doubted the Lions believed they could be a Super Bowl contender leading into a 2023 season that ended in a NFC championship game appearance,
Amon-Ra saying only certain teams genuinely have Super Bowl aspirations was true. The Lions are much closer to a Super Bowl than the Saints, but there is likely belief in the Saints’ locker room for a turnaround.
The team has been far from contenders and haven’t earned the right to be considered that by anyone outside of the locker room. The only push back is the team’s belief in themselves still exists. It’s difficult to critique anyone else for having this opinion, though.
