Steve Williams could have had a better game:
If you didn’t know who Steve Williams was before yesterday’s game, I’d understand. If you don’t know who Steve Williams is today, then you obviously didn’t watch the game.
For a quick refresher, Steve Williams is the man who gave Peyton Manning his job back.
Through the first two quarters of the game, I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a single player have as much of an impact on a game as the Chargers cornerback, Williams, did. In the span of just 15 minutes, he had an interception, sack, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery, giving him a hand in three of the Broncos’ four first-half turnovers.
And yet, PFF gave Williams a grade of just -1.1, his third worst of the year.
While Williams had some big “pop” plays, apparently there wasn’t much else on his resume. Matched up almost entirely against Emmanuel Sanders, Williams scored a -2.7 coverage grade as he allowed Sanders to catch five of his six targets for 99 yards. In fact, it was only after Sanders beat Williams for a 46-yard reception that the Chargers was able to force the first of his two fumbles.
It just goes to show that a simple box score can’t tell the whole story.
