Detroit Lions offensive coordinator John Morton publicly admits he "failed" Jameson Williams after the receiver managed just 17 catches through seven games. Can accountability and patience transform Williams into the weapon Detroit needs for their playoff push?

Matt Dery breaks down Morton's surprising admission and Williams' mature response, Aidan Hutchinson's massive four-year, $180 million extension that cements Detroit's culture shift, and potential trade deadline targets including Saints edge rusher Cam Jordan and Bengals cornerback DJ Turner. The discussion covers the Lions' injury-depleted secondary heading into Sunday's matchup against Minnesota's Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison, plus sharp criticism of Chicago's decision to sign former Lion Chauncey Gardner-Johnson.

Key topics include the Vikings' offensive threats with JJ McCarthy back under center, Detroit's nearly $1 billion investment in homegrown talent, and why this organization has completely transformed from the Matt Millen era.

Tune in for insider analysis on Detroit's path to sustained success and a bold prediction for Sunday's NFC North showdown. #firstlisten
