Balling out against his former team in the Meadowlands, Leonard Williams put up a stat line that hasn't been seen since at least 1982, if not longer.
Since breaking into the NFL as a top-10 pick in 2015, despite tallying nearly 550 tackles and 50 sacks in his career, Seattle Seahawks defensive tackle Leonard Williams has somehow never been selected to an All-Pro team in 11 seasons.
"He's playing at an all-time elite level," Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald said after the game, vouching for him to be Defensive Player of the Week after his teammate Coby Bryant won the award last week over him. Following a touchdown run by Zach Charbonnet that gave Seattle its first lead with under six minutes to play, Williams took over as an unblockable force, recording a pair of sacks on Rodgers. The second one came deep in Seahawks territory as he caved in on the veteran quarterback after he initially escaped the grasp of edge rusher Boye Mafe, creating a third and long situation that eventually led to a game-ending fourth down incompletion out of the back of the end zone.
