Williams' 1-yard score with a little more than a minute left capped an impressive debut that included four targets, four catches, a team-high 64 receiving yards and the NFL's rookie of the week honors — a feat made all the more notable considering he played only 11 passing snaps. Williams' 2.36 expected points added per target led the league in the first week.
