Kyren Williams broke a record set by Hall of Fame RB Eric Dickerson

Anytime your name appears next to Eric Dickerson's in the record books, you're doing something right. Kyren Williams is quickly becoming one of the most effective and efficient running backs in recent Rams history and added two more touchdowns to his resume on Sunday afternoon against the Las Vegas Raiders.

With his two scores, he passed Dickerson for the most touchdowns in a Rams player's first 17 starts. Williams now has 22 career touchdowns, one more than Dickerson had in his first 17 starts with the Rams.

Additionally, Williams' 22 touchdowns are also the second most in NFL history, behind only Larry Johnson's 27 touchdowns with the Chiefs.

Williams has had a nose for the end zone since becoming the Rams' starter in 2023, scoring in nine straight games dating back to last season. That's also one point shy of the Rams record for most consecutive games with a touchdown, a record held by Greg Bell.
