St. Brown shared his assessment of the loss on Wednesday.

"I would just say, man, it's frustrating losing," St. Brown said, via "The St. Brown Podcast." "And I wouldn't say just losing, but the way we lost, I feel like it's frustrating.
"So it's just frustrating being on the offensive side of the ball and us not being able to convert on those fourth downs put points on the board, how we really wanted to, how we did the week before. ... You don't want to lose, especially in that in that manner. It's not like we put up 30 some points in loss. We only had nine points. We didn't convert any fourth downs."

"I don't think anything feels off, except for this past week I was off trying to get him the ball," Goff said, via 97.1 The Ticket.
"He's (Amon-Ra St. Brown) playing well. I've got to find ways to get it to him in space and be more accurate in those instances. I have been in my career so it's not something I'm worried about. Last week was a little bit off and prior to that I don't think there's been any issue."

The Lions converted 3 of 13 third-down attempts and came up empty on five fourth-down tries. A key sequence happened in the third quarter, when Detroit, down seven, elected to go for it on fourth-and-3 near the goal line. Pressure forced Goff to release a hurried throw toward Amon-Ra St. Brown at the back of the end zone. The pass fell incomplete with blanket coverage in place.

Philadelphia’s secondary limited St. Brown effectively throughout the game, holding him to a single catch when matched one-on-one in coverage.
