6. Jonah Williams celebrates the Big Man’s touchdown
The situation: The Cardinals were in the 10, hoping to extend their lead to double digits.
The room: Greg Dortch took over and followed his blockers toward Paydirt. However, on the 2-yard line, the ball was knocked away. Jonah Williams, the Cardinals right tackle who was shooting on the play, saw the ball on the ground and jumped on it in the back corner of the end zone. Williams bent his body to stay in bounds. After review, Williams was credited with the touchdown
The rest: It’s games like this that embody Jonathan Gannon’s philosophy of playing with high motor skills. Additionally, and for good reason, the touchdown received a ton of media attention. But the offensive line room is unique in that when a player speaks to the media, he receives an undisclosed fine from the group’s kangaroo court. After three post-match press briefings, a radio interview and a press briefing the next day, Williams was in the court spotlight.
