Lions receiver Jameson Williams has once again been fined by the NFL this season, though his recent violation is considered minor.

Williams was fined $11,255 for taunting during the Detroit Lions’ Week 16 victory over the Chicago Bears.

The incident occurred early in the game after Williams caught a five-yard pass from quarterback Jared Goff, securing a first down.

Following the play, Williams and Bears defensive back Tyrique Stevenson exchanged words near the sideline, culminating with Williams spinning the ball at Stevenson’s feet.

The Lions were penalized 15 yards for the altercation, and head coach Dan Campbell reprimanded Williams on the sidelines. “Like anybody, he needed an a**-chewing,” Campbell remarked later.

This wasn’t the first clash between Williams and Stevenson.

During the Lions’ Thanksgiving matchup against the Bears, Williams received a 15-yard penalty for taunting Stevenson.

In the fourth quarter, after catching a pass from Goff, Williams threw the ball at Stevenson’s face, earning a flag. The penalty gave the Bears an opportunity to rally, though they ultimately lost 23-20.

A week later, Stevenson was fined $19,697 for his role in the Thanksgiving incident, as footage appeared to show him tripping Williams while he was getting up.

Despite the tensions, Stevenson downplayed any animosity, saying, “It’s just football. No bad blood. I don’t know him, and I don’t want to.”

Williams’ conduct has drawn criticism this season. Alongside these penalties, he was suspended for two games after testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs.

Additionally, Williams was investigated by the Detroit Police Department for firearm possession, though the case was closed with no findings of wrongdoing.

The Lions, despite these incidents, continue to count on Williams’ potential, but his disciplinary issues remain a concern as they push for a playoff spot.
