Kyle Williams scored his first career touchdown on Sunday for the Buffalo Bills. Somehow, it wasn’t on defense.
The veteran defensive tackle and absolute unit was put in at running back in a must-win game for the Bills, who took a 19-0 lead over the Miami Dolphins when Williams ran for a 1-yard score in the third quarter.
Williams was drafted by the Bills in 2006 and has played his entire career without reaching the postseason, as the Bills haven’t made the playoffs since 1999. A free agent after the season, Williams could have played his last game as a Bill on Sunday, and it seems like coach Sean McDermott wanted to give him something to remember the game by.

It’s also important to note that Williams and the offensive line did the explosion touchdown celebration from Any Given Sunday, which rules. The team had another huge celebration on the sideline after Williams scored.

Everyone loves a Fat Guy Touchdown, but when one clearly means a lot to the player and the other guys on the team, it makes it that much better. Buffalo loves Kyle Williams, and they wanted to do right by him here. It’s a hell of a way to get your first career score, especially if you’re a defensive lineman.
