Allen Park — Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams racked up some meaningful milestones in Sunday's season finale against the Green Bay Packers, going over 1,000 yards for the first time in his career while topping Barry Sanders for the franchise's single-season mark for rushing touchdowns.
Now, Williams has been named the NFC's Offensive Player of the Week, becoming the first Lions running back to win the award since Kevin Smith in 2011.
Playing his former team, Williams capped a stellar year with 72 yards on 16 carries against the Packers, including a pair of second-half touchdowns that gave him a league-leading 17 on the year.
