However, this happiness came in the later quarter of his injury blow. In the second quarter, while playing, Williams injured his head and was taken to the medical tent. He was heavily tackled by two Saints players, and with this hard hit his helmet came off. Williams was seen holding his head in pain and lying on the ground before heading to the blue tent. However, in the later quarter, Williams came back even stronger. He scored a touchdown in the third and celebrated with his parents, Taryn and Larry Williams.

Williams is the first Rams player to rush for over 1,000 yards since RB Todd Gurley in 2018, who had the most rushing touchdowns and 1,252 yards in that season.
