Against the Jacksonville Jaguars, the speedy wide receiver hauled in a pass from Jared Goff early in the third quarter, sprinting 64 yards for a touchdown.
The defenders had no chance to catch him, thanks to his blazing speed and the well-designed route.
Before scoring, the former first-round pick decided to dive backward into the end zone, mimicking Marshawn Lynch’s famous celebration.
During a recent recap of Detroit’s dominant 52-6 victory over the Jaguars, Dery expressed his distaste for the celebration, which quickly went viral online.
“He turned on the jets and acted like a total fool, grabbing his crotch,” Dery remarked.
“I’m done with it. Actually, I’m not. Let me just get this out before the YouTube trolls come after me.
Jameson Williams’ antics are getting old. Sorry. He’s a talented guy.
“Jumping backward into the end zone when you don’t need to—what if he hit his head and cracked it open? What if he got a concussion? What if he got hurt? Just run into the end zone,” Dery continued.
“Do what your teammates do. If you want to celebrate afterward, fine. But every week, it’s the same immature stunt.”
Supporters quickly took to social media to defend Williams, emphasizing that football is meant to be fun, downplaying the risks of the end zone leap, and calling Dery a “get off my lawn guy.”
When asked for a response after receiving backlash online, Dery posted, “Go Lions! Go Jamo!”
