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 subsequently missed the 48-yard kick, leaving Dallas eight points behind.

“I don’t know why I did it. It’s just out of character. You don’t got to worry about that no more,” Williams said afterward, according to NFL Network’s Jane Slater. “The damage is already done. It’s my fault. I’m better than that. I’m a pro.”
