Williams has experienced a significant surge in performance throughout the majority of the season. In a striking turn of events, the player who previously recorded 16 receptions for 365 yards and three touchdowns in his first five games faced a significant setback this weekend, managing only one catch for a loss of four yards.
His impressive yardage is largely attributed to his exceptional big-play capability, highlighted by his remarkable breakaway speed. Notable receptions include distances of 70, 52, 50, 37, 36, 27, and 24 yards.
Jared Goff faces the challenge of being without his primary receiver, who has been a key asset for explosive plays. Despite this setback, Goff continues to demonstrate impressive performance on the field. The Lions currently hold a 5-1 record, positioning their star player firmly in the MVP conversation. With an impressive completion percentage of 73.6, he has amassed 1,610 yards and thrown 10 touchdowns this season. The NFL’s leader in yards gained per attempt is significantly influenced by the performance of Williams.
Detroit fans can breathe a sigh of relief as the team prepares to host the Tennessee Titans this Sunday, despite the absence of Williams. The upcoming weekend is set to feature a challenging NFC North matchup in Green Bay, which is expected to be more difficult than initially anticipated.
