"All eyes will be on Williams after how he's played over the last few weeks, especially since he will inevitably see much more time on the field with Boutte and Hollins sidelined. Because of what he's accomplished over the past month, he's one play away from tying a longstanding franchise record set by Randy Moss in 2009, and there's a good chance it happens against the best opponent possible this week."
"With another 30+-yard touchdown against the Ravens on Sunday Night Football last week, the Patriots' rookie tied WR Chris Hogan for recording three long touchdowns in a single season, becoming the first receiver to do so since that 2016 season. Did You Know (via ESPN Research): WR Kyle Williams has 3 receiving TDs of 30-plus yards this season, becoming the first Patriot to total that amount since Chris Hogan in 2016.The last Patriots player with more was Randy Moss (4, 2009).- Mike Reiss (@MikeReiss) December 22, 2025"
The Patriots will be without receivers Kayshon Boutte and Mack Hollins after placing both on injured reserve, forcing replacements Efton Chism III, DeMario Douglas, and Kyle Williams into expanded roles. Kyle Williams has emerged recently, recording multiple 30-plus-yard touchdowns and becoming the first Patriot since Chris Hogan (2016) with three such scores in a season. One more 30+-yard receiving touchdown would tie the franchise mark set by Randy Moss in 2009. Williams had minimal production through the first nine games but has since become a more significant part of the offense, presenting a chance to solidify his future.
