Jameson Williams did what he does best — burn the Eagles’ defense with a jaw-dropping 40-yard touchdown — but then cost his team a point with a celebration that backfired big time. After crossing the goal line, Williams jumped onto the goal-post padding in a bold, Antonio-Brown-like move, only to be flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct.
That 15-yard penalty pushed the ensuing extra-point attempt way back, and in the windy conditions of Lincoln Financial Field, kicker Jake Bates missed — turning what should have been a 7-6 lead into a tie game instead.
Williams later addressed the mistake, admitting with humility that he didn’t realize the celebration was against the rules. He told reporters he felt bad, apologized to his teammates, and said he’ll be smarter moving forward.
Now, the NFL is reportedly deciding whether to fine him for the incident — and fans are divided. Some are calling him a playmaker who made a rookie mistake; others say he needs to grow up and learn the rules. Either way, it’s a reminder that with big plays come big responsibilities — especially on the field and off.
