Lions QB Jared Goff’s 37 pass attempts were the second most by the team this season, only surpassed by 39 in Week 1. Both games accounted for two of the Lions’ three losses. The volume was enough to support WR Amon-Ra St. Brown (9-97-0 on 13 targets) and TE Sam LaPorta (6-97-1 on 8 targets). It also creates a bounce-back game for WR Jameson Williams with a 4-66-1 stat line on 6 targets.

Lions QB Jared Goff assembled an ultra-efficient outing in a Week 5 win vs. the Bengals. He delivered 258 yards, 3 TDs, and 0 INTs on an 82.6% completion rate.

Lions WR Jameson Williams managed just 2 receptions for 40 yards in Sunday's win over the Browns. That marked the third straight game in which Williams caught just two passes. And the game before produced a 4-23 receiving line. But Williams drew a season-high eight targets against Cleveland. That led the team for the first time this year and accounted for 29.6% of Jared Goff's total pass attempts. Amon-Ra St. Brown led the team in the rest of the receiving categories, posting a 7-70-2 receiving line on seven targets. Kalif Raymond drew the only other three WR targets, catching two for 13 yards. Isaac TeSlaa ran a third as many routes and drew no targets.

Lions WR Jameson Williams delivered 108 yards and a TD in Sunday's blowout win over the Bears. That production came on just 2 receptions among four targets, though. Williams scored from 44 yards out in the middle of the third quarter. His other reception racked up 64 yards.

Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown disappointed, catching four of six targets for 45 yards. He didn’t even lead the WRs in snaps, with Jameson Williams logging 65 to St. Brown’s 63. Detroit’s offensive struggles against the Packers led to disappointing results across the board.

The Detroit Lions have come to terms with WR Jameson Williams on a 3-year deal worth up to $83 million. Williams was entering the fourth year of his rookie deal, but earned an extension after posting his first 1000-yard campaign in 2024. The Lions now have both Williams and Amon-Ra St. Brown locked up through the 2028 season.

Lions TE Sam LaPorta is going to miss “a little bit of time” with an injury, according to Nolan Bianchi of Detroit News.

According to Lions senior writer Tim Twentyman, OC John Morton suggested that he'll use both RBs Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery on the field together more often this season.

Lions WR Jameson Williams is coming off a 1,001-yard 2024 season and was particularly productive down the stretch, averaging 74 yards per game over the final five weeks of the regular season. But HC Dan Campbell believes Williams is still on the ascent and "starting to figure it out."

Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown told reporters Thursday that he had a knee operation after the season "to clean some stuff up," according to the Detroit Free Press. He added that he expects to be ready for the start of training camp.

Lions OC John Morton said "unbelievable" four times when asked to describe WR Jameson Williams' offseason. "In the meetings, attention to detail. I’m so excited to see him this year," Morton added. "It’s gonna be a breakout year for him. So I can’t wait."

The Lions named John Morton their new OC. He'll replace Ben Johnson, who took the Bears HC job after leading Detroit to three straight top-five finishes in both points and total yards. Morton was a senior offensive assistant for Johnson's first Lions squad in 2022 before spending the last two years as Broncos passing game coordinator. His only previous OC experience came at USC in 2009 and 2010 and with the Jets in 2017. That Jets team -- quarterbacked by Josh McCown and Bryce Petty -- ranked 28th in total yards and 24th in points. We won't hold that against Morton. He'll now be working with one of the most loaded offenses in the league, although it's fair to expect some dropoff in play-calling from Johnson to Morton.

Lions WR Jameson Williams posted 5 catches for a team-high 143 yards in Sunday's win over the Bears. He added his sixth TD of the season.

Lions RB David Montgomery injured his right MCL in Sunday's loss to the Bills and will be out indefinitely. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that it's a tear and that Montgomery might be out through the playoffs. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports it as a sprain but adds that Montgomery will have further testing. Whatever the specific diagnosis and return timeline, it seems a pretty safe bet that Montgomery will miss the rest of the regular season.

Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown racked up 14 catches for 193 yards and a TD on 18 targets as Detroit threw for 494 yards in Sunday's loss to the Bills. Those numbers accounted for a 30.5% share of Jared Goff's total pass attempts, 36.8% of completions, and 39% of the team's receiving yards.

Lions QB Jared Goff went a solid 26 of 36 passing (72.2%) for 269 yards (7.47 yards per attempt) in Sunday's win over the Colts. But all three of Detroit's TDs went to RBs, on the ground.

This was the first big game from Lions WR Jameson Williams since his suspension catching a 64-yard TD with a final stat line of four catches on six targets for 124 yards.

Lions WR Jameson Williams ranked second on the team in pass routes, third in targets, and tied for second in receptions in Sunday's win over the Texans. He tallied 3 receptions for 53 yards on 5 targets.
