Finally, Williams is only four touchdowns short of tying the Lions' single-season record of 16 rushing touchdowns, set by Sanders in 1991. Steve Young: 4,239 (197) Lamar Jackson, who will also come up later. Williams also became the first back to score multiple rushing touchdowns in at least five of his team's first 10 games since another Hall of Famer, LaDainian Tomlinson, did so in 2006. Sunday was Williams' fifth game with multiple rushing touchdowns this season, tying the legendary Barry Sanders for the franchise record. In his first five NFL seasons with the Packers and Lions, he totaled a combined 13 rushing scores. Williams had a career-high three rushing scores in the Lions' third straight win Sunday, a 31-18 upset of the New York Giants.
Swift is back now, but appears to have lost his share of the workload. He and D'Andre Swift essentially shared touches – but then Swift got hurt. The 27-year-old Williams, BYU's all-time leading rusher, wasn't even Detroit's true featured back when the season began. Williams and Cleveland's Nick Chubb are now both +300 to lead in rushing scores at DraftKings. Williams was +10000 to do so entering the year but currently sits first with 12 scores. I'm not sure what the longest odds were for any player in NFL history to lead the league in rushing touchdowns was, but Detroit's Jamaal Williams could go down as one of the most unlikely champions of that statistic.
