Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown and Vikings WR Justin Jefferson are on the same wavelength
(Image via Getty: Amon-Ra St. Brown and Justin Jefferson) Both the Minnesota Vikings of Justin Jefferson and the Detroit Lions of Amon-Ra St. Brown scored 14-2 in the 2024 NFL season. They were up against each other next. Whoever won would get a bye week and home-field advantage throughout the postseason. But who lost? Had to compete again with a 10-7(Tampa Bay Buccaneers) or 9-8(Atlanta Falcons) in the wild-card round and start their playoff journey. It seems all too confusing. However, the wide receivers who faced it last year tried their level best to voice out their concerns. Amon-Ra St. Brown was not happy with the NFL Playoffs rule Back in January 2025, Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown wanted the NFL commissioner, Roger Goodell, to change NFL rules. Which rule in particular? He voiced his opinion on his own podcast–St. Brown Podcast, 'It's crazy. I think the rule should be changed. Obviously, if you win the division, you should obviously make a playoff spot. But having a 14-win team having to go on the road is kind of crazy. But I guess I don't make the rules. Hopeful we can get a win and get home-field advantage, but whatever happens, we(Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings) both have a spot in the playoffs–so we might see each other again after this game.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Seven months later, Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson speaks the same language. Justin Jefferson wants wild-card teams to have a home-field advantage Talking to Jason Fitz of Yahoo Sports, the wide receiver said, 'With the season that we had last year, to go, and play with–it definitely was a little different. It definitely needs to be taken into consideration and something that we need to figure out because having 14 wins normally–doesn't go to play away in the playoffs. We definitely had the opportunity to play home-field advantage, with the last game in Detroit, but even losing that, we still felt like we should have had home-field advantage. But even not having home-field advantage is never an excuse. It's something we had to deal with, and we wish we had home-field advantage, but it is what it is.'

Tyler Shough confident he can handle starting as a rookie: 'You're not going to faze me if we start off 0-2 or I f***ing suck'
Tyler Shough graduated high school in 2018, ranked as a top-10 prospect in the same class as Trevor Lawrence. Then he backed up Justin Herbert at Oregon before getting a crack at the starting gig in 2020. Come postseason, Oregon entertained a quarterback rotation that sidelined Shough for parts of the Pac-12 championship and a large chunk of the Fiesta Bowl. He transferred to Texas Tech, where he suffered serious injuries in three consecutive seasons, the last being a fractured fibula that required him to be carted off the field. Advertisement His next and final stop of his seven-year college marathon was Louisville. There, he finally played a complete, 12-game regular season and established himself as a rather unorthodox NFL prospect. Shough went through the good, the bad and the ugly in college, and not necessarily in that order. So, as he prepares to compete for the QB1 role in New Orleans, the 25-year-old second-round pick feels ready to handle the unforgiving pressures that come with being a rookie starting quarterback in the NFL. "I think for me and what I've been through: I've been carted off the field, I've been booed, I've been an MVP, I've been a starter, I've been a backup to Herbert — I'm like, throw some s*** at me, you're not going to faze me if we start off 0-2 or I f***ing suck," Shough calmly yet confidently said Wednesday on the "St. Brown Podcast." Advertisement Shough continued: "It's going to be fine. That's why I was excited about that opportunity, or any opportunity. "And I think, going into it, I've got to continue to get to know the guys. I'm still a rookie. I may be older, but I got to earn the respect of everybody and do my job." Shough has a clear path to starting for the rebuilding Saints, who are now coached by former Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore. That path suddenly appeared when veteran Derek Carr surprisingly retired on May 10 due to a surgery-requiring shoulder injury. Carr, a four-time Pro Bowler, was approaching his third season with the Saints after nine seasons with the Raiders. Without his presence, New Orleans' quarterback room consists of an unproven foursome, headlined by a rookie in Shough, a second-year signal-caller in Spencer Rattler and a third-year signal-caller in Jake Haener. Advertisement Shough told Amon-Ra and Equanimeous St. Brown that learning from Carr "would have been great." But Shough, who will turn 26 in September, knows the kind of opportunity that's in front of him now. It's an opportunity that arrives after a journey that's been far from seamless. "You look back, and it's like, what are you willing to sacrifice to get to that position?" Shough said, via "The St. Brown Podcast." "If you would have told me as a 20-year-old, you're going to get drafted, but you are going to have to wait four or five years and you're going to break your bones three times and you're going to think about not playing football again and you're going to be depressed and you're gonna have all these emotions, but if you just stay at it, then I would have done it, and I did. At that time, you're thinking, 'Why is this happening? What is going on? There's a lot of unknowns.' But that's literally the NFL, that's the game of football." There are more unknowns on the way for Shough, especially if wins the starting job. He believes he's ready to handle it all.

Saints' Tyler Shough: My Unique College Experience Makes NFL Unable to 'Faze Me'
New Orleans Saints rookie quarterback Tyler Shough is in his own boat. Shough will turn 26 in September, played for three different programs in his college career, suffered multiple devastating injuries and was still the No. 40 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. In Shough's mind, though, his college experiences mentally equip him for the next level. "I think for me and what I've been through: I've been carted off the field' I've been booed; I've been an MVP; I've been a starter' I've been a backup to [Justin] Herbert — I'm like, throw some s--- at me, you're not going to faze me if we start off 0-2 or I f------ suck," Shough said on the latest edition of the "St. Brown Podcast." "It's going to be fine. That's what I was excited about, that opportunity, or any opportunity, and I think, going into it, I've got to continue to get to know the guys. Like I said earlier, I'm still a rookie. I may be older, but I have to earn the respect of everybody and do my job." Injuries played a pivotal role in Shough playing six seasons of college football. As Shough mentioned in the "St. Brown Podcast," he was a backup behind Herbert at Oregon from 2018-19 before becoming the starter in 2020. In the truncated 2020 season (the COVID-19 pandemic delayed the start of the Pac-12 season by roughly two months), Shough led the Pac-12 with both a 160.4 passer rating and 9.3 yards gained per pass attempt in seven games; he also rushed for 271 yards and two touchdowns. Shough transferred to Texas Tech in 2021, but he had his season cut short after four games due to a broken collarbone, which he injured again in 2022, limiting him to seven games. Then, four games into the 2023 season, Shough suffered a broken fibula and transferred to Louisville after the season — which is when he put together the most complete season of his collegiate career. Last season, Shough totaled 3,195 passing yards, 23 passing touchdowns, six interceptions and a 148.1 passer rating, while completing 62.7% of his passes. The Cardinals went 8-4 with Shough under center. While the 6-foot-5 Shough figures to be the Saints' Week 1 quarterback in the wake of Derek Carr's retirement, he has to beat out the second-year Spencer Rattler, who started six games for New Orleans last season, and Jake Haener. New Orleans is coming off a 5-12 season and has a new head coach in former Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore. Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?
