Detroit Lions receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown doesn't think the Saints can win the Super Bowl this season and made sure Equanimeous St. Brown - his brother who signed with New Orleans this year - is aware of that.
While discussing expectations for 2024 on the "St. Brown Podcast," Amon-Ra told Equanimeous that no Saints player is entering the new NFL season with Super Bowl expectations.
"No one in your f-----g room thinks they're going to win a Super Bowl, honestly," Amon-Ra said. "Us, like, we know we can do it."
Equanimeous instantly clapped back, saying he believes in New Orleans. The 27-year-old, who spent the last two seasons with the Chicago Bears, joined the Saints on a one-year contract in April.
"I think we can win the Super Bowl," Equanimeous said. "Saints are a great organization. ... It's not that hard to make the playoffs."
"You're acting like you won the Super Bowl," Equanimeous told Amon-Ra. "You didn't win the Super Bowl. ... You're chasing it just like us."
"No one in your fu***ng room thinks they're going to win a Super Bowl."

One of 12 teams without a Super Bowl title, the Lions won their first playoff contest last season since the 1991 campaign and reached the NFC title game before falling to the San Francisco 49ers. Amon-Ra put on a show in 2023 and claimed a first-team All-Pro nod after catching 119 passes for 1,515 yards and 10 touchdowns.
The Saints have missed the playoffs in each of the last three seasons. The club lifted the Vince Lombardi Trophy with a Super Bowl XLIV triumph in 2010.
New Orleans is the third team of Equanimeous' career. The veteran wideout - who's recorded 63 receptions in the NFL - began his career with the Green Bay Packers.
