Pitt alum and San Francisco 49ers defensive back K’Waun Williams saw his first NFL playoff action since 2019 on Sunday, making his fourth career playoff appearance in his team’s 23-17 win over the Dallas Cowboys. Williams also came up with a big play in the third quarter that set up the 49ers’ final touchdown.
That big play was an interception that came at the expense of Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott with about six minutes left in the third quarter. Prescott threw the ball a bit behind Cowboys receiver Cedrick Wilson, and Williams took full advantage of the opportunity, diving to make a play on the ball and coming up with the fifth interception of his career and his first interception in a playoff game.
