Lions Jamaal Williams Gives On Of The Best Post-Games Speeches Ever

The NFL’s final regular-season game in 2022–2023 would pit the Lions against the Packers on NBC’s Sunday Night Football. In an interview with Melissa Stark of NBC Sports following the Lions’ 20-16 victory over the Packers, Williams became emotional. Stark fell down in tears as he spoke about the passing of his great-grandfather after mentioning Williams set the Lions’ single-season running touchdown record.

“My great-grandfather died on me. I just dedicate this to him,” Williams said as he continued to get choked up. “I’m just grateful to do this for him, my grandfather. He was 92. I’m just grateful for him to be in my life, and I’m grateful to play football and do this for him. There’s a lot of memories, a lot of emotion happening right now, but I’m just grateful to be able to play this game for my great-grandfather.”

“I’m glad that he’s looking down on me, and I know I’m making him proud,” Williams added.

But then Williams did a complete 180 — deciding to blast all the analysts who picked the Packers to beat the Lions, and his tears turned into trash talk.

“And another thing, stop playing us, man!” Williams continued. “We the Detriot Lions, stop playing with us! I don’t even watch TV, but I heard everybody already picked the Packers over us! Stop playing with us! That’s all I gotta say, man. Don’t let these tears fool you; it’s all dog around this mother!”

Williams then abruptly ended the interview and walked off toward his teammates.

Williams had 16 carries for 72 yards and two scores throughout the contest. His sixth multi-TD game of the year occurred that day.

Prior to scoring the game-winning touchdown with 5:55 remaining in the fourth quarter, he had ploughed over from a yard out to give the Lions a 13-9 lead in the third quarter.

His second season with the Lions was coming to a close, and he finished with a career-high 262 carries, 1,066 rushing yards, and 17 touchdowns.
