— NFL (@NFL) December 22, 2024The reception broke Williams’ previous 70-yard mark for longest catch that he set earlier this season.
Overall, Williams came into Sunday’s action having recorded 42 catches for 747 yards this season, ranking second on the team in yardage. And with 143 yards and counting in this matchup, Williams has already broken his career-high for yardage in a game.
Williams has also rushed for 56 yards this year as a Swiff Army Knife-type of player for Dan Campbell & Co.
Williams notably had a rocky start to his career. He suffered a torn ACL while at Alabama and had to miss much of his rookie season as a result.
Then, Williams and a handful of other Lions players were suspended for six games to start the 2023 season due to violating the NFL’s gambling policy, as they placed wagers on college football teams inside the Lions’ facilities. Williams was also briefly suspended earlier this season for violating the league’s PED policies.
Now, he’s playing a major role for Detroit’s offense with the playoffs on the horizon.
