The Lions were the designated home team for the sixth regular-season game in Germany and the third in Munich. A crowd of 70,225 filled Allianz Arena, which the Lions called a record for the stadium. St. Brown, whose mother is German, ran out of the tunnel carrying a German flag.

New England took the opening kickoff and went 60 yards in 11 plays. Maye completed three of four passes for 48 yards and scrambled for 11. On third down at the Detroit 15, Aidan Hutchinson sacked him.

Both players were hurt on that play. Maye left with an ankle injury and did not return. Hutchinson hurt his knee celebrating the sack, left in the first quarter and was ruled out late in the third. Andy Borregales kicked a 33-yard field goal for a 3-0 lead.

Detroit answered at once. On a six-play, 70-yard drive, Jared Goff found St. Brown for a 56-yard touchdown and a 7-3 lead with 6:13 left in the first quarter. It was St. Brown’s first touchdown catch since Week 3 against the Jets.

Tommy DeVito replaced Maye. The Patriots punted on his first four possessions.

The second touchdown took 11 plays and 5:28, from the Detroit 3 to a diving 12-yard catch by Isaac TeSlaa. 14-3, with 12:57 left in the half.

Goff then threw an interception to Christian Gonzalez, the cornerback’s first of the season. After another New England punt, Gibbs took over: on a seven-play, 84-yard drive he touched the ball on six of the seven plays, including a 50-yard catch-and-run that set up his 5-yard touchdown on the next snap. 21-3 with 2:06 left in the half.

Roger McCreary intercepted DeVito on the next series, but Detroit could not add to its lead: Kevin Byard intercepted Goff in the back of the end zone, and it was 21-3 at halftime. In the third quarter, St. Brown caught a pass over the middle and his teammates pushed him over the goal line in a scrum with Patriots defenders for a 28-yard touchdown. 28-3.

It was the 10th multi-touchdown game of his career.
