Giants defensive lineman Leonard Williams has played 124 games across his eight NFL seasons. The 125th game he plays will be his first playoff game.
The 125th game he plays — Sunday against the Vikings— he’ll cherish more than all the others because it’ll be his first playoff game.
Still, Williams figured the following season with the same coaching staff and same players “we’ll just do it next year.” “Eight years,” said Giants ninth-year defensive tackle Justin Ellis, who’s been to the playoffs three times, as he pondered Williams’ long wait. “That’s tough … but he’s here now.”
“That means a lot to me to be in the playoffs with this team,” Williams said. “It would feel amazing to me to make it to the playoffs and make it that far with guys that I’ve seen grinding every day for years and deserve it.” “I had him talk to the group, mainly for the younger guys, to get them to understand that this opportunity doesn’t come around all the time,” Patterson said Friday. “He stood up and talked to the group about how his rookie year [the Jets] were 10 and something and all they had to do was win the last game [against Buffalo] and they’re in.
