The Detroit Lions beat the New England Patriots 35-10 at the Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany, on Sunday, Nov. 15, 2026, as Amon-Ra St. Brown caught two touchdown passes in his German homecoming and Jahmyr Gibbs ran for 153 yards and two scores, The Associated Press reported. New England lost quarterback Drake Maye to an ankle injury on its opening drive, and Detroit lost edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson to a knee injury on the same play.

The Week 10 game was played in front of 70,225 fans, according to DAZN and the German news agency dpa. Sky Sports reported that it was the eighth of a record nine international games on the NFL's 2026 schedule. The win lifted the Lions to 7-2 and extended their winning streak to five games, while the Patriots fell to 5-5, according to the AP.

How the scoring unfolded

New England opened the scoring. Maye completed three of four passes for 48 yards and scrambled for 11 yards on the first drive before Hutchinson sacked him at the Detroit 15-yard line on third down, the AP reported. Andy Borregales then kicked a 33-yard field goal for a 3-0 Patriots lead.

St. Brown caught a 56-yard touchdown pass from Jared Goff in the first quarter for a 7-3 lead, according to the AP. Goff then found Isaac TeSlaa for a 12-yard touchdown that capped a 97-yard drive and made it 14-3. Gibbs ran in from 5 yards one play after a 50-yard reception to give the Lions a 21-3 lead late in the second quarter, the AP reported.

St. Brown scored again in the third quarter on a 28-yard reception, with teammates pushing him over the goal line in a scrum with Patriots defenders, for a 28-3 lead, according to the AP. New England's only touchdown came early in the fourth quarter, when Tommy DeVito finished a 13-play, 87-yard drive with a 10-yard pass to running back Lan Larison, DAZN reported. Gibbs closed the scoring with a 28-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter, the AP reported.

Gibbs and St. Brown lead the Lions

Gibbs finished with 252 yards from scrimmage: 153 rushing yards and seven catches for 99 yards, according to the AP and Sky Sports. The Lions said he is the first NFL player since Priest Holmes in 2002 to produce more than 150 rushing yards, two rushing touchdowns and at least 95 receiving yards in a game, the AP reported. DAZN reported that his fourth-quarter touchdown was the 62nd of his career, breaking a tie with Hall of Famer Terrell Davis for the most by any player in his first four NFL seasons.

Goff completed 20 of 31 passes for 303 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions, according to the AP. Gonzalez intercepted him in the first half, his first interception of the season, and Kevin Byard III intercepted him in the back of the end zone late in the half, the AP reported.

St. Brown finished with four catches for 98 yards, the AP reported. His mother, Miriam, is from Leverkusen, according to Sky Sports. The AP reported that he wore lederhosen for his arrival at the stadium and ran onto the field carrying a German flag. After the game, he told reporters, as quoted by Sky Sports: "It's been probably one of the most fun days I've ever had. Playing for Detroit, being in Germany with these fans, coming out with a win like this - it's been amazing."

Injuries to Maye, Hutchinson and A.J. Brown

Maye was initially listed as questionable to return before being ruled out in the second quarter, NFL.com reported. Patriots coach Mike Vrabel called it a lower leg injury, did not have an update on its severity and said the quarterback would "get more tests run." Vrabel said Maye "couldn't function, couldn't play, couldn't do whatever he needed to do to play quarterback, to protect himself, to execute or function at that level," according to NFL.com.

DeVito completed 12 of 24 passes for 81 yards with one touchdown and one interception, which was made by Roger McCreary late in the first half, the AP reported. Sky Sports reported that DeVito was sacked four times, and DAZN reported that Derrick Moore had two of those sacks. Wide receiver A.J. Brown, who was back after missing two games, left with a hamstring injury in the second half and was ruled out, NFL.com reported.

Hutchinson was hurt when he jumped to celebrate his sack and landed awkwardly, grabbing his right knee, NFL.com reported. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo reported that he is feared to have suffered a significant knee injury and that he underwent an MRI during the game, according to NFL.com. Asked about Hutchinson after the game, Lions coach Dan Campbell said, "Nothing new," according to NFL.com, adding: "We'll know more when we get back in the [United] States, but any time you lose a player of his caliber, the type of teammate he is -- he's a captain of ours -- that doesn't make things easy." Sports Illustrated reported that Campbell also said, "I thought guys stepped up in his wake, and showed up for us today and helped us out." According to NFL.com, Hutchinson had one sack on nine snaps before leaving.
