All that fuss over aDOT last week, only for Williams' number to jump right back to 7.9 against New England. Williams attempted 12 passes more than 10 yards downfield. The raw line reads just 6-of-12, but three of those attempts were throwaways and another two were dropped.

Williams' aDOT rebounded to 7.9; 8-of-9 on-target on aimed deep attempts.

Williams' aDOT (average depth of target) jumped back to 7.9 against New England after two weeks of lower numbers. He attempted 12 passes more than 10 yards downfield; while the raw line reads 6-of-12, three were throwaways and two were dropped. Stripping non-aimed throws, Williams was on-target on eight of nine aimed attempts, with the lone miss being an incompletion to Loveland. The source argues this refutes the narrative that Williams became a 'checkdown merchant,' noting his career profile shows willingness to attack downfield.
