          DETROIT -- Brothers Amon-Ra St. Brown and Equanimeous St. Brown scored touchdowns 2 minutes and 14 seconds apart for the Detroit 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 the Philadelphia 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 the San 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.
