SALT LAKE CITY – Former BYU and current Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams continues to live in the end zone as he scored his 10th touchdown of the year against the New York Giants.

The Giants hosted the Lions at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey on Sunday, November 20.

With 4:38 remaining in the first half, the former BYU star took the ball four yards and across the goal line for a Lions touchdown. The score gave Detroit a 10-6 lead.

It was Williams’ 10th trip into the end zone this season.

With the score, Williams became the fourth player in franchise history to run for at least 10 touchdowns in a single season, joining Barry Sanders, Billy Sims, and James Stewart.

The touchdown capped a three-play, 18-yard drive that took 1:31.

After the score, Williams had six carries for 24 yards and a touchdown. Williams entered the Week 11 game with 142 carries for 604 yards and nine touchdowns in 2022.

The Lions entered the game with a 3-6 record this season.

Detroit’s game against New York is broadcast on FOX and NFL Sunday Ticket.
