Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown pulled off a front flip over a defender to score a 15-yard touchdown against the Denver Broncos.
With just under 20 seconds to go before halftime, St. Brown caught a pass from quarterback Jared Goff before he turned up field and went airborne over a defender who dived at him to make the tackle.
St. Brown had leapt from the two-yard line and landed safely on his backside in the endzone after the defender clipped his legs mid-flight, before punting the ball sky high into the air in celebration.
Heading into the game against Denver, he had put together another strong season with 87 receptions for 1,063 yards and six touchdowns.
