Cardinals’ Jonah Williams Makes Waves with Touchdown Against Patriots!
GLENDALE, Ariz. — In a surprising turn of events during the Arizona Cardinals’ game against the New England Patriots, offensive lineman Jonah Williams scored a touchdown, becoming the first at his position to do so since 2010. The touchdown came when Williams recovered a fumble from wide receiver Greg Dortch in the end zone, allowing the Cardinals to extend their lead to 10-0.
The play began with Dortch receiving a handoff from quarterback Kyler Murray. However, as he raced towards the end zone, Patriots linebacker Anfernee Jennings knocked the ball loose. Williams, quick on his feet, capitalized on the mistake and dove on the ball just before it rolled out of bounds, ensuring the Cardinals retained possession and scoring opportunities.
The significance of Williams’ touchdown cannot be overstated; it marked his first in the NFL and his first overall since he played as a fullback for the Atlanta Colts in sixth grade. This moment adds to the history of the franchise, as it’s the first time a Cardinals offensive lineman has scored since Levi Brown did so in 2010.
Williams’ unexpected dash into the end zone drew applause and social media acclaim, with many calling for him to be placed on the “nice list” this holiday season. As the game progressed, the Cardinals maintained their lead, riding on the momentum created by Williams’ rare achievement.
