Lions WR Jameson Williams broke out with five catches for 121 yards including a 52-yard TD in the third quarter. After a disappointing start to his career, Williams hitting a long TD and going nuclear in this game is a sign of a potential breakout coming this season.
HC Dan Campbell had been talking Jameson Williams up all offseason about his contributions as the #2 WR on the Lions, and that came to fruition on Sunday Night Football.
In a game where WR Amon-Ra St. Brown failed to get open as easily as usual, QB Jared Goff utilized Jameson Williams and the soft coverage tossed his way. This bodes well for Williams in the future who should continue to be targeted when called upon.
The Lions have a potentially soft match-up against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers next week where Williams may be able to hit another deep TD shot.
The Bucs struggled to keep QB Jayden Daniels and the Washington Commanders in check in Week 1, and the Lions present an even bigger challenge.
Expect the Lions to continue stretching the defense with Williams and forcing safeties to stay back and allows softer boxes for the run game.
