In his post-game comments, Williams expressed his frustration over the loss, highlighting that the team failed to execute plays effectively and criticizing himself for the two interceptions he threw, calling them quite frustrating.

“We didn’t execute the way we needed to,” Williams said. “We’re going to keep getting better. Everything is about the response. It’s Week 2 with the guys
 I’m a young guy, I understand it’s a long season, and I understand we’re going to respond. I will just get better every day at practice, focusing on all the different aspects throughout the weeks, paying attention to details and things like that.”
