Williams had this to say after receiving his award:

“This couldn’t happen without the [offensive line]. The o-line made a lot of plays, made the game easy for us,” Williams said. “We won in the trenches, defense made stops and got turnovers when we needed them. A great team win overall.”

Williams had a combined 305 yards and four touchdowns on the ground and through the air against the Bears.
