DETROIT -- BrothersAmon-Ra St. Brownand Equanimeous St. Brownscored touchdowns 2 minutes and 14 seconds apart for theDetroit Lions and Chicago Bears, respectively, on Sunday.

Amon-Ra, a second-year receiver for the Lions, caught a 4-yard touchdown pass from Jared Goff at 4:09 in the third quarter against thePhiladelphia Eagles. The score happened at 3:19:50 p.m. ET.

"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.

His older brother Equanimeous -- a receiver for the Bears -- was on the receiving end of an 18-yard touchdown pass from Justin Fields at 12:45 in the fourth quarter against theSan Francisco 49ers. The score happened at 3:22:04 p.m. ET.

The siblings faced each other twice last season as NFC North division rivals, when Equanimeous played in Green Bay.
