Detroit fans have been waiting for Jameson Williams to have that moment — the one that proves all the hype was worth it. On Sunday, he delivered.
The young wideout exploded for his best game of the season, lighting up the field with his trademark speed and game-changing plays. But it was what came after the win that really got people talking. Quarterback Jared Goff had nothing but praise for his rising receiver, calling him “a cheat code” during postgame interviews.
“Man, when you’ve got a guy like that — with that kind of speed, that kind of focus — it’s like playing Madden with a cheat code,” Goff said with a grin. “You just throw it up, and he makes something happen.”
Williams’ breakout performance wasn’t just about stats — it was about timing. With the Lions’ offense needing a spark, his big plays reminded everyone why Detroit took a chance on him in the first place. His chemistry with Goff finally clicked, and you could feel the momentum shift every time he touched the ball.
Head coach Dan Campbell also joined the praise, noting Williams’ growth and patience through early struggles. “He’s starting to find his rhythm,” Campbell said. “He’s dangerous when he’s confident.”
Fans in Ford Field could feel that energy. Every catch drew roars, every route stretched the defense thin — and for the first time, Williams looked like the explosive weapon Detroit envisioned when they drafted him.
If Sunday’s performance is any indication, the league has officially been put on notice. Jameson Williams isn’t just a deep threat anymore — he’s turning into Detroit’s offensive cheat code for real.
