When the Los Angeles Rams needed a third wide receiver to step up on Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles, it was running back Kyren
Williams who made his presence felt in the passing game. Williams had 10 receptions for 67 yards and became a legitimate receiving threat. Given his success in Week 4 and the offense's continued injuries at tight end, the Rams may need Williams to remain in that role going forward.... Meanwhile, Kyren Williams had 10 catches for 67 yards. Williams became the first Rams player with 10 receptions and 10 carries in a game since Gurley in Week 15 of 2018.

It was a rough afternoon for Jameson Williams, who put multiple catchable passes on the ground, including a well-placed deep ball from Jared Goff in the opening half. Williams also fumbled an end-around where there was plenty of green in front of the speedy receiver. Williams wasn’t around when the locker room opened, but Goff addressed the receiver’s struggles, going as far as to take the blame for some of them. “I talked to him, too,” Goff said. “Some of those throws weren’t my best, getting him to the right spot and on time. Yeah, that’s one of those little things where I don’t worry about him in the slightest and I’ve got to be a little better for him, too.” Goff also praised Williams for making a key catch in a critical moment, a 22-yard grab that set up Detroit’s touchdown in overtime.
