We can see that on the second play as Brooks is able to mirror Kamara off of the snap and then effortlessly accelerate and make the tackle on the former Rookie of the Year.

Despite getting injured half through the fourth quarter, Mike Williams had a strong showing on Sunday. The former Clemson Tiger had a touchdown and 86 receiving yards on 7 catches and 9 targets.
