On the very next play, Jameson Williams found open space as Green Bay's zone cleared out underneath him... When Williams went in motion, Keisean Nixon seemed to expect help from Javon Bullard or Xavier McKinney. Both had already bitten on the fake, so nobody stayed with the fastest player on the field.

Williams exploited Packers blitz coverage and play-action fakes; described as fastest player on field.

Williams repeatedly found open space against Packers defense, exploiting coverage breakdowns. On one play, he found open space as Green Bay's zone cleared out underneath him after the Lions caught the Packers in a nickel blitz off the edge on play-action, with Goff having time to survey coverage and deliver. On a play-action pitch, Williams caught a short throw in the flat while nearly the entire Packers defense (nine of eleven) flowed toward the backfield; when Williams went in motion, Keisean Nixon expected help from Javon Bullard or Xavier McKinney, but both had bitten on the fake, leaving 'the fastest player on the field' uncovered. On a scramble, Goff rolled right and Williams read the blitz, settling into the open area left by coverage flowing with the quarterback.
