What is the story about?

New England Patriots wide receiver Kyle Williams started off the scoring early for the team in Thursday's preseason game against the Cleveland Browns.

He blew past a defender and connected with quarterback Tommy DeVito on a 45-yard touchdown reception. The reception tied the game at seven following the extra point.

This was Williams' third touchdown catch of the preseason, continuing what has been a stellar three weeks for the second-year wide receiver. The touchdown concluded a drive that took six plays, 76 yards, and 3:19 off the clock. It came in a game where the Patriots struggled defensively right out of the gate.

So seeing some early fireworks from their No. 2 quarterback was a welcome sight.

Normally, preseason games are not full of action, especially the final game. However, Thursday night’s game bucked that trend in a major way in the first quarter.
