A matchup that looked great looking ahead to the season for Jameson Williams against Chicago Bears cornerback Tyrique Stevenson in Week 13, with just one catch (one one target) for eight yards for the Lions wide receiver when he was lined up against Stevenson on Thanksgiving Day.
Williams and Stevenson did have a separate interaction on another play in the game though. With less than 10 minutes left in the Thanksgiving Day game, Williams was forced out of bounds on the Bears’ sideline with Stevenson nearby.
Williams drew a 15-yard penalty for throwing the ball at Stevenson, hitting him in the face to boot, which he took full ownership of as a bad mistake right after the game. The penalty could been costly for the Lions, as they had to settle for a field goal on that drive, if not for the Bears completely botching the end of their final drive.
Stevenson clearly said something somewhat untoward to Williams, prompting Williams to say something back to him and throw the ball at him. The accuracy of the throw was almost too good to be fully intended, but the “second guy always gets caught” rule clearly applied when Williams drew a flag.
