"My mom just texted me," Amon-Ra said. "I think it's pretty cool especially for his road, having been on the Packers for four years and now he's on the Bears. New scenery for him, new team. I think he loves it over there and I'm happy for him. I don't think he scored in like two years so I know he's super excited. I'm happy for him. Unfortunately, we couldn't get the win but I know that they won so I'm happy for him."
Amon-Ra now has a receiving touchdown in five straight games, which is the longest streak by a Lions player since Calvin Johnson in 2011. Johnson also had five straight.
