Amon-Rae St. Brown celebrates with Jameson Williams after Williams’ TD that sparked the Lions’ rally.
The Lions faced a fourth-and-goal from the 26-yard line late in the first quarter of Sunday’s game against the Chicago Bears. With 4:15 remaining in the game, the Lions called on running back Jameson Williams in the number
Following the game, Williams revealed that his fellow receiver, Amon-Ra, St. Brown, had actually told him before the play that he would score. “I’m not gonna lie to you, before the play, St. Brown said, ‘Go get it, it’s coming,’” Williams said. “I knew I was going to score. We needed something to get us back into the game, and that’s what it did. Ever since that play, we’ve just been on it.”
“The more he plays, the better he gets,” St. Brown said of Williams. “The longer he’s out there, the better he’s getting.”
There was one more long ball, this time for a 32-yard score, and the Lions are back in this terrible, terrible, no good, very bad game.
St. Brown was the Lions’ leading receiver with eight catches for 77 yards and the score, while Williams had two catches for 44 yards and a score.
St. Brown’s second touchdown of the year was the beginning of the Lions’ 16 unanswered points in the final four minutes of the game.
On Chicago’s next possession, the Lions’ defense forced a 3-and-out that took just 26 seconds. The Lions’ next drive went 73 yards in 11 plays and was capped by a one-yard David Montgomery touchdown run.
On the Bears’ next possession, Detroit’s defense sacked Justin Fields on the Chicago 15 and forced a fumble in the end zone.
