Overview
- In his first game since the trade from the Jets, Williams logged a strong first half that included 1.5 sacks, four quarterback hits and a tackle for loss, according to in-game tracking shared by Yahoo Sports.
- Dallas’ retooled defense also welcomed debuts for Logan Wilson, DeMarvion Overshown and rookie corner Shavon Revel, and it limited Las Vegas to two first-half field goals while generating steady pressure.
- ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported before kickoff that Williams would be a full go with a healthy workload after quickly absorbing the playbook, and his early impact matched those expectations.
- The matchup favored Dallas up front with Raiders interior injuries, including Jackson Powers-Johnson on injured reserve, Dylan Parham banged up and rookie Caleb Rogers in the mix as a fill-in.
- Dallas pursued Williams to bolster a unit that ranked near the bottom of the league at 397.4 yards allowed per game, underscoring the urgency behind the deadline move.
