Williams held the ball toward Nubin after crossing the goal line, drawing a 15-yard unsportsmanlike-conduct penalty that was enforced on the extra-point attempt. Brandon Aubrey<\/a> subsequently missed the 48-yard kick, leaving Dallas eight points behind.<\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t know why I did it. It\u2019s just out of character. You don\u2019t got to worry about that no more,” Williams said afterward, according to NFL Network\u2019s Jane Slater. “The damage is already done. It\u2019s my fault. I\u2019m better than that. I\u2019m a pro.”<\/p>\n
