Jamaal Williams Scores Touchdown, Has Career-Long Run On MNF

GREEN BAY, Wis. – Former BYU and current Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams scored his second touchdown of the season on Monday Night Football.

Williams gave the Packers their first touchdown as quarterback Aaron Rodgers quickly pitched the ball in front of him as Williams was running near him and the former BYU star running back used a stiff arm before running into the end zone.

The first touchdown he scored this season was a 15-yard catch against the Minnesota Vikings on September 15. He missed the Packers last game against the Dallas Cowboys after suffering a concussion on Thursday Night Football when they lost to the Philadelphia Eagles.

The game against the Lions is his first game back since suffering the injury.
