Amon-Ra St. Brown revealed on his podcast that refs threatened penalties if players continued the nose-picking gesture during the Rams game.
The Detroit Lions haven't won back-to-back games in more than 2 months, but can improve their playoff odds to 48% with a win Sunday over the Steelers.
The Detroit Lions are a National Football League team that plays in the NFC North division. The Lions have yet to win a Super Bowl title over the course of their history.
Several Detroit Lions players were doing the same celebration during their game against the Rams, but then, the referees apparently told them the next time it would be a penalty.
The Detroit Lions have a clear No. 1 running back in Jahmyr Gibbs. For veteran David Montgomery, his snap counts and the amount of carries have reduced from last season, while Gibbs has become the focal point of Detroit's rushing attack.
The Detroit Lions "haven't been able to run the ball consistent enough" against top competition, Dan Campbell said Tuesday.
The Detroit Lions' run game is coming off a bad showing. That's the thing, though, going into that game, everyone knew it would be tough. The Rams' defense is very good against the run. Sometimes this Lions team is just so good against the run that it's like playing Contra on easy.
It was observed early in the game that star offensive players Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jahmyr Gibbs and Jameson Williams were acting as if they were digging in their nose and flicking it, when they moved the chains and earned a first down.
