Williams struggles in regulation with 23 yards on 8 targets, redeems with clutch OT catch.

Williams had an unexpectedly poor performance in regulation, managing just 23 receiving yards on eight targets. He had one deep pass over the middle that was dropped, an intermediate shot over the middle that was potentially tipped and couldn't be hauled in, and bobbled a reverse that appeared well-designed for an explosive gain. Two other third-down targets on routes near the sideline were almost within reach. Williams and Jared Goff couldn't connect for most of the afternoon despite Drew Petzing appearing to have good ideas for playing to Williams' strengths. The source notes this was surprising after Williams looked polished and dominant throughout training camp. However, Williams responded with an unbelievably clutch 22-yard catch on a corner route in overtime—Goff's only completion of the day on a pass traveling 10-plus air yards downfield and outside the numbers—setting up the offense at the 5-yard line.
