For a week in New York, the No. 1 story was a two-word phrase. Red Line. The dividing line often marked in red on a practice field (seen here in Seattle, for example) to show the receiver how to run a vertical route, not drifting too far inside or outside and getting pinned near the sideline. It’s what Williams failed to do with the Jets, resulting in an interception, and QB Aaron Rodgers calling it out post-game.
Given another chance with a new team, Williams ran the “red line” on his 32-yard touchdown grab to beat the Washington Commanders Sunday.
