GMC Never Say Never Moment: Mario Williams

The NFL announced Friday that the fans selected Buffalo Bills pass rusher Mario Williams for the GMC Never Say Never Moment of the Week.

Williams' forced fumble on a sack of quarterback Ryan Tannehill with fewer than three minutes remaining was the game-altering event that opened up the opportunity for former Dolphins kicker Dan Carpenter to deliver the decisive score for the Bills.
