Jameson Williams took full ownership of penalty that nearly cost the Lions

Other than his highlight-reel hurdle of Bears safety Kevin Byard, it was mostly a solid, non-descript day for Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams on Thursday (five catches for 28 yards, two carries for 18 yards). But with the Lions leading 23-13 and trying stave off the Bears' comeback attempt in the fourth quarter, Williams made what could have been a huge mistake. Forced out bounds on the Chicago sideline after a three-yard run, and after Bears cornerback Tyrique Stevenson (who was not in the game) seemed to say something not very nice to him, Williams tossed the ball toward Stevenson and hit him squarely in the face. It was objectively hilarious, but it was also not smart. Williams a got a 15-yard taunting penalty, giving the Lions a 2nd-and-22. The brief momentum of the drive was stalled, and it ended with Jake Bates missing a 45-yard field goal. If not for the Bears completely botching the final minute of the game, Williams' penalty and the resulting missed field goal could have cost the Lions a win. W
