The Detroit Lions' offense put on a show against the Green Bay Packers, with Jameson Williams playing a starring role in their 20-17 victory. Jared Goff connected with his explosive receiver for two touchdowns, while Williams finished with five catches for 91 yards. However, one of those scores grabbed attention for an unusual reason: offensive tackle Penei Sewell helped create it by running a route.

Detroit used Sewell as a makeshift tight end on Williams' second touchdown, a 10-yard reception in the third quarter. The massive offensive lineman ran a route over the middle, drawing a linebacker and additional defensive attention toward him. That movement left Williams open in the end zone, allowing Goff to find him for the score.

The play also featured a no-look throw from Goff, adding another layer of deception to an already clever offensive design. Green Bay's defenders reacted to Sewell's unexpected route, while Williams found space to finish the play. After the game, the receiver praised Sewell for helping make the touchdown possible.

"Sewell is a spectacular player, so he’s taking defenders with him. It was actually crazy: QB1 threw me a no-look. I guess it fooled the defenders, because I was wide open. Nobody was pushing to me or anything."

Williams' comments highlighted the value of Detroit's versatility. Sewell's athleticism allowed the Lions to turn a conventional offensive formation into a deceptive scoring opportunity, while Goff's delivery completed the trick.

Jared Goff and Lions' Receivers Continue to Punish Defenses

Williams wasn't the only Detroit receiver who gave Green Bay problems. Amon-Ra St. Brown caught nine passes for 153 yards, while Goff threw for 303 yards and two touchdowns without an interception. The Lions' ability to threaten defenses in multiple ways proved crucial in a tight divisional contest.

With Williams finding his rhythm and Sewell offering creative options, Detroit's offense has plenty of weapons. The 20-17 win gave the Lions back-to-back victories and reinforced how difficult they can be to contain when their playmakers execute.
