One of the many, many things that make this Detroit Lions team so great is the mutual love and respect that clearly exists between players and coaches.

That’s why when Jameson Williams took off for an 82-yard touchdown against the Chicago Bears on Sunday afternoon, wide receivers coach Antwaan Randle El couldn’t help but run down the sideline himself.

The Lions posted a video of his reaction alongside the big play.

Even better — NFL Network’s Stacey Dales spoke with Williams after the game and showed him a clip of Coach El absolutely losing it. Williams hadn’t seen it yet and let out the most infectious laugh, you have to see it.

“Explosive (plays) kind of win the game for you,” Williams told Dales. “That’s one of the plays, it was early and I guess it gave the team the juice — you see coach, you see everybody on the sideline. It was big for us.”

A terrific NFL wide receiver himself from 2002-2010, Randle El knows the thrill of making a big catch and racing to the endzone like a madman. The Lions are well known for having former players as coaches, and you have to imagine it makes a difference, especially in moments like this.

Is quite literally every person involved in this organization charismatic, or what?

And onto the rest of your notes.

  • A bit more on Jamo — many still can’t believe just how speedy he is.

  • A meal that would sound quite unappealing to anyone who isn’t a Lions fan.

  • This certainly aged well.

  • This did not.

  • It’s from last week but still worth a watch — Terrion Arnold vs. the Michigan cold is one of my favorite battles.

  • In case you missed it — Amon-Ra St. Brown and Sam LaPorta star in a fun new FedEx ad.
