Jameson Williams finishes long touchdown with 'Beast Mode' celebration (video)
The Detroit Lions are taking care of business on Sunday against the lowly Jacksonville Jaguars, getting out to a 28-6 halftime lead and it somehow didn't seem that close. They got the ball to open the second half, and wasted little time putting the game even further out of reach.
Big plays have become a marker for Jameson Williams' career, as he also become a more well-rounded receiver in his third season. All seven touchdown receptions in his career (the first seven) have (now) been 30-plus yards. Sometimes, pure speed and athleticism are plenty enough to get the job done when the defense has little interest in being on the field.
On the fourth play of the Lions' drive to start the second half on Sunday, Jared Goff connected with Williams and he did the rest.
Jameson Williams breaks out 'Beast Mode' touchdown celebration (video)
In the end zone, Williams channeled the touchdown celebration originally authored by former Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch.
For those too young to know, here's what Lynch's "Beast Mode" touchdown celebration looked like. As noted by Mike Payton of AtoZ Sports, Williams was 12 years old when the picture below happened. So along with being incredibly talented and putting it all together so far this season, Williams clearly has an appreciation for history and those who came before him.
Along with removing whatever will to finish Sunday's game the Jaguars might have had left in the name of saving their head coach's job heading into a bye week, the 64-yard catch and run for a touchdown pushed Williams to a career-high 124 receiving yards. The Lions scored another touchdown to push the score to 42-6 at the end of the third quarter. So Williams is unlikely to pad his yardage total in the final quarter, much or at all, but he did his work already.
