Detroit Lions star receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown has called for an overhaul of the NFL playoff seeding system. The Pro Bowler criticized rules that could force a 14-win team to play on the road in the postseason.

St. Brown, who has amassed 1,186 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns this season, speaks from experience. His Lions (14-2) will face the Minnesota Vikings (14-2) in Week 18, with the loser potentially dropping to the fifth seed despite holding one of the NFL's best records.

On Saturday's episode of his "St. Brown Podcast," he expressed frustration with the playoff format. His comments came just two days before the Lions' crucial matchup against Minnesota at Ford Field.
