Video: Lions' Jameson Williams Pays Tribute to Marshawn Lynch With TD Celebration
November 17, 2024
Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams emulated Marshawn Lynch's celebration after scoring a 64-yard touchdown on Sunday.
In the third quarter of the Lions' matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars, Williams caught a pass from Jared Goff and eventually found the end zone to give Detroit a 35-6 lead. As he scored, the third-year wideout paid tribute to the five-time Pro Bowl running back.
Lynch utilized the celebration multiple times throughout his playing days, which included his famous 67-yard touchdown run during the Seattle Seahawks' playoff victory over the New Orleans Saints during the 2010 season.
Williams has thrived as the Lions' No. 2 receiver alongside Amon-Ra St. Brown, hauling in 20 receptions for 414 yards and three touchdowns entering Sunday's action. He's averaging 59.1 yards per game this season, the highest mark of his career.
The No. 12 overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft looked impressive against the Jaguars' secondary, surpassing 100 yards in a single game for the first time since Detroit's Week 1 win over the Los Angeles Rams.
His contributions have helped the Lions win eight of their first nine games, owning the best record in the NFC.
