Both of those long runs put Los Angeles in the red zone; L.A.'s offense eventually capitalized on the second with a one-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Matthew Stafford to wide receiver Davante Adams which marked Adams' 1,000th career reception.
"It was great, it was awesome," Stafford said. "I mean, I feel like they've been close all year, and we've been really efficient around the ball. We were explosive tonight, which was really cool. Our guys did a nice job there, big plays for us early on. They were playing some defenses where it felt like if we got through, we could make some plays. And those guys did that."
If practice this week served as one source of confidence going into this game for Williams to break off a long run, the other came from watching film last night of the Seahawks' defense against the Cardinals' offense, and using his own custom approach to the way the Seahawks defense attacks outside zone runs.
"And I was like, 'Oh, if we call an outside zone on this play, it's going to hit,' and coach McVay, he did exactly that," Williams said. "We called 19, it went to the left side and I knew that I was going to press it and stretch it as much as I could, and then put my foot in the ground. It was kind of already a pre-determined read, don't tell coach G (running backs coach Ron Gould) that. But I kind of knew that once I started, once I got outside, and I was going to press the line, and everybody's going to fly over the top, and I was going to be able to put my foot in the ground. And just seeing that on film, and seeing kind of how they how they felt like they probably could have attacked it, I kind of use it in my own way."
