ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- As a rugged Louisianian whose 13-year career with the Buffalo Bills was defined by perseverance and not pomp, retiring Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Kyle Williams had to be nudged to participate Sunday in the pageantry of his final NFL game.
But as the 35-year-old corralled three of his five children after a 42-17 victory over the Miami Dolphins in a side hallway and made a rare appearance at the postgame podium, Williams allowed himself a moment in the spotlight to end his playing days.
"The whole thing has been a little out of my comfort zone," he said.
