Chargers WR Mike Williams throws shade at Cowboys pass defense

In his new role in Joe Lombardi’s system, Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams flashed dominance in last Sunday’s victory over Washington.

Williams had 12 targets, and hauled in eight passes for 82 yards and a score.

Looking to carry that momentum into Week 2, Williams will face a Cowboys team that surrendered 379 passing yards in the season opener against the Buccaneers.

Williams took note of quarterback Tom Brady’s big night, and believes that he and the rest of the receiving corps could be in line for a field day this upcoming weekend.

“Tampa Bay receivers looked like they was having some fun out there,” Williams said when asked about Dallas’ defense.

While the Cowboys were gashed through the air, they still managed to pick off Brady twice, one of which came from the team’s No. 1 corner, Trevon Diggs.

Diggs shadowed three-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Mike Evans and fared very well. Aligning across from Evans on 39 of 47 routes, Diggs only allowed just one reception for 10 yards on three targets.

Diggs will likely match-up with Keenan Allen for the majority of the game, which means that Williams could see success, especially if he draws Anthony Brown, who gave up seven completions for 121 yards, one touchdown and a 158.3 passer rating last week.

Nonetheless, quarterback Justin Herbert, who completed nearly two-thirds of his passes for well over 300 yards to nine different targets, will be eager to feast on their highly suspect secondary.
