What to Know About Williams
Williams entered the league as a third-round pick of the Baltimore Ravens in 2013. He spent the first nine seasons of his NFL career with the Ravens, registering 323 tackles in 123 games played and had one Pro Bowl nod during his time in Baltimore, per Pro Football Reference.
Signing Williams reunites him in Kansas City with defensive line coach Joe Cullen, who was Williams’ position coach in Baltimore for five seasons (2016-20).
“He and Joe Cullen have a history. Joe speaks very highly of him and still thinks he can contribute. He’s been doing it a long time, and we welcome that,” Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said of Williams during his Wednesday presser, via Jordan Foote of Arrowhead Report.

Twitter Talks Chiefs-Bengals Ahead of Matchup
Twitter users chatted about the Chiefs and Bengals ahead of their Week 13 matchup in Cincinnati on Sunday, December 4 at 3:25 p.m. Central Time.
“The game this week is the last tough opponent for KC,” one Twitter user wrote. “I don’t see anyone else in the AFC winning out so I don’t think it’s a HUGE game for the Chiefs. But man these Bengal fans are so obnoxious. I hope we see the Chiefs that showed up in SF and it’s a absolute massacre.”

“The Chiefs led the Bengals by a combined 49-20 in the first halves of two games and somehow lost both,” Matt Connor of Arrowhead Addict wrote. “Trading last year’s aging defense for a young with greater overall speed and stamina will make a bigger difference in this matchup than any other.”

“Beating the Bengals this week won’t get revenge,” another user wrote. “I don’t want to spoil your fun, but I speak the truth. It’s just a regular game, until we beat Joe Burrow and the Bengals in the playoffs it means nothing.”
“Chiefs fans are getting mad that the Bengals are getting healthy? Pretty weird behavior if you ask me. Sounds like they’re scared of JaMarr for some reason, any guesses why?” another user wrote.
