Studying the whereabouts of his opponent on third-and-long, Quincy Williams and the Jets’ defense understood that in a rain-soaked battle between two of the NFL’s elite defenses, victory could hinge on one’s ability to protect the ball. From there, the Pro Bowl linebacker put the onus on himself to generate a game-changing play, meeting Denver’s running back with physicality to force a fumble, leaving the home crowd in a celebratory eruption. The Broncos would later prevail, dealing a 10-9 loss on Sept. 29, 2024; Williams remained superb nonetheless, patrolling the field’s entirety through seven tackles (two for a loss), one forced fumble, and minus-one yards allowed across three targets.
