Jamaal Williams nominated for FedEx Ground Player of Week 11

After a remarkable day at MetLife Stadium Sunday, Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams has been nominated for Fedex Ground Player of Week 11.

Williams didn’t have a ton of yardage to show for, rushing 17 times for just 64 yards against the New York Giants in the team’s 31-18 victory. However, Williams found the end zone three times to put him atop the league with 12 rushing touchdowns so far this season. It’s his fifth game of the season with multiple rushing touchdowns, and it put him well on pace to break Barry Sanders’ franchise record of 16 rushing touchdowns in a season.
