**DETROIT, MI** – Locked on Lions podcast host Matt Dery’s criticism of Jameson Williams’ touchdown celebration during the Lions’ 52-6 victory over the Jaguars has ignited a social media firestorm. Dery, on a recent episode, called Williams’ backward leap into the end zone, complete with a crotch grab, “immature” and a “clown act,” expressing concern over the potential for injury. He urged the young receiver to simply run into the end zone like his teammates.

Williams, who scored a 64-yard touchdown in the game, replicated a Marshawn Lynch-style celebration. Dery’s comments, however, sparked a backlash from fans who defended Williams, arguing that the game should be fun and downplaying the risk of injury. Many accused Dery of being overly critical and out of touch.

Following the online criticism, Dery posted a simple “Go Lions! Go Jamo!” on social media. The incident highlights the passionate opinions surrounding the Detroit Lions and the intense scrutiny players face, even after impressive performances. The Locked on Lions podcast, a highly popular daily NFL show, is consistently ranked among the top Apple podcasts.
