Leonard Williams reaches milestone not seen in almost 100 years

Leonard Williams has been the Seahawks’ best defender since he came over from the Giants in a trade just before the deadline.

Williams’ performance on the field has been especially impressive when you consider that he hasn’t gotten a bye week this season. Thanks to the trade, he missed out on getting a week off both with the Giants and with the Seahawks. That means today Williams will be playing in his 18th game this season. In case you’re wondering, that hasn’t been done since 1930.

Williams has totaled 5.5 sacks, nine tackles for a loss and 15 quarterback hits.

Williams will become a free agent in March. However, he has bought a house in the Seattle area – with Tyler Lockett acting as his real estate agent – indicating he wants to stay.
