‘We can’t lose twice in a row,’ says Jameson Williams
Jameson Williams is now more at ease running the offence for the Lions.
Jameson Williams is not going to be mistaken for one of the NFL’s most productive receivers at this time. Still, it’s undeniable that the 2023 campaign has seen a steady improvement from the second-year receiver.
Naturally, as Williams has gotten more playing time in games, he has become more at ease in his role with the Lions. Additionally, he’s started to demonstrate that he’s more than just a deep threat when it comes to impacting Ben Johnson’s offence.
Actually, Johnson has been feeding Williams a more consistent diet of short, intermediate targets over the last few weeks. Williams, who is renowned for his lightning-fast acceleration, has found it easier to enter open space over the middle of the field as a result.
Many just view me as the deep threat, but as receivers, there are other options available to us. I’ll stay on the shallow end; you can go deep. “Someone can cross the middle, and I can go deep,” Williams said to receivers on Thursday. It’s just people interacting with each other, then.

With less than three minutes remaining in Week 11, he hauled in a 32-yard receiving touchdown, which played a major role in the Lions’ thrilling victory over the Bears.
He then recorded another excellent performance against the Packers on Thanksgiving. He had two receptions for 51 yards in the NFC North divisional game mentioned earlier.
Even though Williams gave a fantastic performance, you won’t find him declaring that he was happy with his work in the holiday event. The explanation for this is that Detroit lost the Week 12 game in the end.
Williams is committed to helping the Lions win on Sunday against the Saints in order to avenge the loss. This is a routine that Dan Campbell’s team is used to. Recall that Detroit hasn’t lost consecutive games during the first 12 weeks of the season.
For Williams, it’s evidence of the close-knit group dynamic within the team.
Regarding the Lions’ capacity to win after defeat, Williams remarked, “It’s just something that we do.” We seem to just click as a team, in my opinion. We are aware of the tasks and goals we must complete. We don’t want to experience defeat once more, particularly not consecutively. All we need to do is finish something by Sunday.
