NFL locals in Week 15: Jamaal Williams scores second touchdown of season, nears 1,000 career rushing yards

Former BYU running back Jamaal Williams had his best game of the 2018 NFL season on Sunday for Green Bay in the Packers' 24-17 loss to the Chicago Bears.

After filling in for starter Aaron Jones, who went out with a knee injury in the first quarter, Williams rushed for 55 yards on 12 carries and added 42 receiving yards on four receptions.

He also ran for a 10-yard touchdown with just over four minutes left in the third quarter that, combined with a two-point conversion, helped tie the game at 14-14.

“Just be ready,” Williams told the team website postgame.
