A former Spartan spotted in Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams’ touchdown celebration on Sunday

The Detroit Lions absolutely drubbed the Jacksonville Jaguars inside of Ford Field on Sunday afternoon. A good day for those Lions fans in the Spartans fan base. It was also a good day for a noted Michigan State alumnus.

During a celebratory leap into the stands by Lions wide receivers Amon Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams, they were seen jumping into the seats of a former Spartan and Detroit Red Wing, Justin Abdelkader.

Abdelkader is known as a Stanley Cup winner with the Red Wings, while winning a National Championship at MSU.

The 5-2 Detroit Lions face off Monday Night in Detroit against the 3-4 Raiders. Whether the Lions are able to take care of business agianst the floundering Raiders will depend on many factors. One might have been whether top receiver Amon-Ra St Brown would be able to go.

The Pro Bowl receiver was added to the team’s injury report on Sunday after coming down with an illness. But as of a few hours before kickoff, he is plans to give it a go according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.

St Brown caught 106 passes last season for 1161 yards and six touchdowns, earning him a trip to the Pro Bowl. This season he is well ahead of that pace, posting 51 catches for 557 yards and three touchdowns over the first seven games. Josh Reynolds and Kalif Raymond round out the Lions’ top three receivers.
