An incredibly special moment for the Williams family.

In this story:

Kyren Williams had something special planned if he scored a touchdown during the Los Angeles Rams’ matchup against the New Orleans Saints on Thursday. 

After Williams scampered into the end zone on a 10-yard touchdown rush in the third quarter, he immediately darted toward the SoFi Stadium stands and flipped the football to his mom, Taryn.

Thursday Night Football sideline reporter Kaylee Hartung said on the broadcast that Williams always knows where his mom is sitting during games.

“She’s always my rock,” Williams told Hartung in a conversation earlier this week.

Taryn Williams was mic’d up on the touchdown run, too.

What a great moment!
