“I Do Apologize”: St. Brown Comes Clean on His Trump Dance
In an emotional confession on his podcast, St. Brown said:
“If I offended anyone, I do apologize. I didn’t mean to cause any problems. If any president was at the game and had a dance, I would’ve done it, but looking back, I see why it may have upset some people.”
While the star receiver tried to downplay the situation, some fans believe his apology is an attempt to avoid further controversy. “Why apologize for something that was clearly meant to be fun?”
one fan tweeted. “It was just a dance. People need to stop overreacting.”
St. Brown’s dance during the game was met with mixed reactions, with some fans applauding the celebration while others criticized it for being politically charged. While the wide receiver’s performance—
One source close to the team revealed: “Amon-Ra was simply caught up in the moment, but he didn’t expect this much backlash. Some of the locker room is divided about it, but the team has been supportive.”
However, there’s growing concern within the Lions’ fanbase that St. Brown’s political gesture may alienate some supporters. “I was cheering for him on the field, but seeing that dance, it just didn’t sit right,”
another fan commented. “It’s football, not politics.”
While St. Brown’s statement may calm some fans, the damage may already be done. With the team pushing for a playoff spot, distractions like this could derail the momentum. The wide receiver’s comments have left some wondering whether the incident will affect his relationship with fans or his standing with the franchise moving forward.
“He’s a great player, but this was a mistake,” one anonymous insider said. “There’s a line between celebrating and pushing buttons, and Amon-Ra crossed it.”
With the Lions having a strong season and St. Brown playing a pivotal role in their success, this controversy could be more than just a social media storm—it could potentially affect team morale heading into the crucial weeks of the season. As for St. Brown, will this blow over, or will the

Even by most rookie quarterback standards, the Tennessee Titans’ Cam Ward has had a rough initiation to the NFL.
But after a bye week, Ward says he’s ready to go for Tennessee’s final eight games, beginning Sunday when the Titans host the Houston Texans in Nashville.
Ward has thrown for 1,760 yards and five touchdowns with six interceptions, completing 58% of his passes. However, he’s been sacked a league-high 38 times and has lost five fumbles. His 11 turnovers are tied for third in the NFL.
Ward said he used the bye week to recover physically and reflect on his first nine games.
“It was good just to self-scout myself and what I can do to help the team be better on offense,” he said. “And what I can do to help myself. Just getting back to the basics of football, getting my body healthy. It was a good break.”
A lack of playmakers and inconsistency in the offensive line have damaged the Titans (1-8). The firing of coach Brian Callahan after six games has, so far, has done little to spark the team. Tennessee is 0-3 under interim coach Mike McCoy.
During the break, McCoy looked back at film to see how he and the staff can help Ward make more of the big plays that were a staple of his 2024 at Miami. One way is to encourage Ward not to force long passes as often.
Offensive coordinator Nick Holz said Ward is getting better at taking checkdowns.
“I’ve got to get the ball in my playmakers’ hands,” Ward said. “Let them make plays for us, and I think that’ll have the offense flowing.”
The potential return of No. 1 receiver Calvin Ridley could help Ward. Ridley practiced for the first time Wednesday after missing the last three games with a hamstring injury.
While Ward and Tennessee try to spark a dormant attack, Houston (4-5) might turn to backup Davis Mills for a second straight game. CJ Stroud remains in concussion protocol after being knocked out in a Week 9 loss to Denver. He didn’t practice Wednesday and would need two practices without symptoms before he could be activated.
Mills led the Texans to a come-from-behind 36-29 win last week over Jacksonville, thanks to a 26-point fourth quarter. He threw for 292 yards and a pair of fourth-quarter scores before rushing for a 14-yard touchdown with 31 seconds left to put Houston ahead for good.
The other star for Houston was Danielle Hunter. The five-time Pro Bowl defensive end mauled the Jaguars’ offensive line, tying a career-high with 3 1/2 sacks, as well as recording seven tackles, four quarterback hits and a forced fumble.
“He was exploding off the ball, playing violent, not slowing down,” said Texans coach DeMeco Ryans. “That only works with the interior guys getting the right push.”
The Titans already know the damage Hunter can do to an offense. He logged two sacks and helped Houston limit Tennessee to 175 total yards in the Texans’ 26-0 shutout win against the Titans on Sept. 28.
Houston might need that kind of pass rush from Hunter again. The team’s secondary took a hit last week after safety M.J. Stewart suffered a season-ending quad injury.
