The Detroit Lions earned a crucial 34-31 division victory over the Green Bay Packers on Thursday Night Football in Week 14, as Dan Campbell’s team now sits at 12-1 and owns only the No. 1 seed in the NFC for 14 weeks. . The Lions have won a franchise-record 11 straight games after a 1-1 start and will host the Buffalo Bills in Week 15 at Ford Field in a possible Super Bowl preview.
The Lions offense continues to be one of the most dominant units in the NFL, and although quarterback Jared Goff, the running back tandem of David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs and receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown receive most of the credit for the Lions’ offense. excellence on offense, third-year receiver Jameson Williams is finally starting to blossom.
Although Williams has experienced a plethora of off-field issues in her short career thus far, there is no denying her talent. The No. 12 pick in the 2022 NFL Draft is one of the most dynamic young playmakers in football, averaging 18.2 yards per catch in 11 games this season, ranking him in the top five of the league. Williams also had 39 catches for 710 yards and four touchdowns in 2024.
Williams had another solid outing against the Packers in Week 14, leading the team in receiving yards with 80 and notching five catches. The 23-year-old had a productive day, but the same can’t be said for Green Bay receiver Jayden Reed, who had just one field goal and failed to score in the loss Packers against the Lions.
During an appearance on the “St. Brown Podcast” on October 11Reed told Amon-Ra St. Brown to wait until he came to Detroit, referring to the Packers’ Week 14 contest against the Lions. Clearly, the young receiver’s comments completely backfired, as Reed didn’t post a single receiving yard Thursday night and Jameson Williams didn’t hold back on the Packers wide receiver.
Williams commented under a Bleacher Report Betting Instagram post to completely roast Reed, asking if the former second-round pick had come to Detroit. Reed responded to the former Alabama star, telling the Lions receiver to do his homework on career stats. Ultimately, Williams responded to the 24-year-old’s response, stating that a player is only as good as his last game, referring to Reed’s no-catch night in Detroit on Thursday.
