Lions' Jameson Williams Flagged for Stanchion-Leap TD Celebration as League Review Looms

A fine could follow under the NFL's Saturday discipline process for in-game conduct.

Overview

  • Williams caught a Jared Goff pass and turned it into a 40-yard second-quarter touchdown in Philadelphia.
  • His leap onto the stanchion drew a 15-yard unsportsmanlike-conduct penalty following the score.
  • The enforcement pushed the try to 48 yards, and kicker Jake Bates missed wide right in windy conditions at Lincoln Financial Field.
  • The NFL commonly issues fines after weekly review, and recent examples include a $28,555 penalty for Washington's Javon Kinlaw.
  • Head coach Dan Campbell said he will call offensive plays for the rest of the season, and Williams said the game felt smoother with more explosiveness.
