Inside The Bills | Memo to Jets fans: Talk junk to Mario
"Fans get me going," said Williams. "The worst thing to do is talk junk to me before I’m about to go against your quarterback. Whenever I get trash talked by fans at an away game, that’s the best motivation. Because I know if I get the opportunity to get to the quarterback, it’s going to be even worse now. If there’s a fan telling me I’m garbage and my team sucks, you’re talking directly to me. And I’m going to take it out directly on your quarterback."
