Lions notes: Jamaal Williams bringing dependability, consistency to Detroit's run game

Allen Park — If he didn't play another snap this season, you could make a strong argument Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams has had the best year of his career. That's all the more remarkable when you consider he hasn't even hit the halfway point.

Through eight games, Williams has rushed for 545 yards, is averaging 4.3 yards per carry, and has scored a personal-best eight touchdowns. He's on pace to top his career-high in yards this week in Chicago and well on his way to becoming the first Detroit back to run for 1,000 yards since Reggie Bush in 2013.
