Jameson Williams Caught Two Touchdowns in Arizona, And It Took Five Seasons To Get There

Jameson Williams finally ended his season-long touchdown drought on Sunday in Arizona, not just once, but twice, marking the first game of his entire NFL career where he snagged multiple receiving touchdowns. Talk about breaking out, right?

The Double-Dip Breakout That Took Too Long

Dude hadn’t caught a single touchdown pass all season, ZERO. Then, Sunday rolls around against the Arizona Cardinals and Williams goes off. First, an eight-yard beauty from Jared Goff in the second quarter. Then, just to prove it wasn’t a fluke, a massive 39-yard bomb in the third. The Detroit Lions absolutely clobbered the Cardinals 45-21, moving them to a respectable 3-2, while the Cardinals dropped to 1-4. The wild part? Those two touchdown grabs were his ONLY two catches of the entire game. The Lions PR team was even hyping it up mid-game, confirming it was his “first-career game with multiple receiving TDs.” Think about that: five NFL seasons to get to this point for a guy with his talent. Wild.

From Quiet Start to Potential Catalyst

It’s not like Williams was completely invisible heading into Sunday. He had 16 receptions for 229 yards on 25 targets over the first four games, averaging a solid 14.3 yards per catch, even dropping a 102-yard afternoon on Carolina. But no touchdowns. None. This double-TD receiving game was a first, though he’s had multi-touchdown games before. Back on December 30, 2024, he went off against the San Francisco 49ers, once with a run and a catch TD in a 40-34 regular season win. He did it again on January 28, 2024, in the NFC Championship Game at San Francisco with a 42-yard run and a catch in a tough 34-31 loss. The dude knows how to find the end zone, just not always through the air.

The Lions are on a bye for Week 6, so Williams gets two whole weeks to just let this performance sink in. You know the team is hoping this Arizona explosion is just the beginning for a receiver who’s been a bit too quiet up until now. Fingers crossed this is the start of something big!
