Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown had plenty of fun both before and during the Week 9 game against the Green Bay Packers.
During the game, St. Brown pulled off a hilarious headstand touchdown celebration that was instantly turned into a meme by the internet. It was no doubt one of the coolest and funniest celebrations we've seen this season.
But before the game started, St. Brown showed up to Lambeau Field wanting all the smoke. The Lions star wide receiver donned a "GREENBAY SUCKS" hoodie when getting off the bus, and the photo instantly went viral.

After the game, Packers cornerback Keisean Nixon, who was quite vocal about not getting embarrassed by the Lions ahead of the game, wasn't thrilled with St. Brown's wardrobe choice and called the Lions star a "clown."
"I didn't see (the hoodie). I mean, he's a clown. It's just the way it is," Nixon said of St. Brown, per Matt Schneidman of The Athletic.
Nixon was part of the problem for Green Bay in a game that saw no shortage of bad mistakes from the Lions NFC North rival, including a huge turnover and several penalties.
On the opening kickoff, Nixon was called for a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty after sticking his hand in cornerback Kindle Vildor's on the sideline after the play was over. Later, he committed a holding penalty on third down that extended Detroit's drive.
“Totally unacceptable,” head coach Matt LaFleur said of Nixon's first penalty.
Ultimately, St. Brown got the first and last laugh against Nixon and the Packers, as not only did he rock that hoodie and score a touchdown, his team also emerged victorious to extend its winning streak at Lambeau Field.
Green Bay will get its chance at revenge in Week 14 when the two teams meet at Ford Field.
