Williams gathered in five of seven targets for 28 yards and took two carries for 18 yards during Thursday's 23-20 win against the Bears.
ANALYSISAfter racking up at least 50 receiving yards in each of the Lions' previous three contests, Williams fell off a bit Week 13, despite tying his third-highest target count of the campaign. He did match
Amon-Ra St. Brown for the team lead on that front, but all of St. Brown (5-73-0),
Tim Patrick (2-48-0 on three targets) and
David Montgomery (3-36-0 on three targets) ranked above Williams as pass catchers, and TE
Sam LaPorta hauled in both of
Jared Goff's TD passes. On a positive note, though, Williams recorded a season high in rushing yards with the help of a 15-yard carry that included him hurdling a Bears defender. His next chance to produce will be next Thursday versus the Packers.
