With a 31-29 win against Minnesota in Week 7, the Lions are 5-1 this season. They handed the Vikings their first loss of the season and took first place in the NFC North. Lions QB Jared Goff has played at an extremely high level over the last four games.
This is why the team is 4-0 in their last four games. Additionally, the Lions have averaged points (40.0) over their last three games. Detroit’s offense is firing on all cylinders. ESPN’s Eric Woodyard was the first to report that Lions WR Jameson Williams is facing a two-game suspension. He violated the NFL’s policy on performance-enhancing substances. He will miss the next two games against the Titans and Packers.

In the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft, the Lions used the 12th overall pick to draft WR Jameson Williams out of Alabama. He led the NCAA with 1,572 receiving yards, 19.9 yards per reception and 15 receiving touchdowns in 2021. Williams injured his knee in the national championship and missed the first 11 games of his rookie year with the injury . He appeared in six games as a rookie and had one catch for 41 yards and a touchdown. Just a taste of what Williams could bring to Detroit’s offense.
The following season, Williams was suspended for the first four games of the season for mobile betting on non-NFL games from a club facility. His suspension was originally scheduled for six games, but he later had it reduced. In 2023, Williams played 12 games for the Lions and made 10 starts. He had 24 receptions for 354 yards and two touchdowns. Through six games and four starts in 2024, Williams already has career highs of 361 receiving yards and three touchdowns. The 23-year-old will continue to build those numbers but will miss the next four games for the Lions. Williams is second in receiving yards and receiving touchdowns for Detroit in 2024.
