Williams' career-best 155 yards signals rejuvenation after near-retirement.

Williams rejuvenated his career in 2025 with the Cowboys after nearly retiring; he struggled with injury and ineffectiveness over his final three seasons in Denver before signing a prove-it deal with Dallas. He posted a career-best 155 rushing yards against Philadelphia on Monday night, with zero tackles for loss thanks to strong offensive line and tight end blocking; the Cowboys ran 38 times for 204 yards total in the game.
