 Williams was injured while trying to make a diving tackle on

He laid on the field for several minutes and was immobilized and
placed on a stretcher before being loaded into the ambulance.
The game was delayed more than 10 minutes and several Bills players
huddled in prayer before returning to the field.
Williams' father said in a tweet later on Sunday that his son had
full movement in his extremities.

Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler was lost for the game after
suffering a hamstring injury while diving to try to make a tackle
after throwing an interception against the Arizona Cardinals.
After completing his first eight passes, Cutler threw an
interception that Cardinals safety Tony Jefferson returned for a
26-yard touchdown late in the second quarter.
Cutler made a vain attempt to tackle Jefferson and suffered what the
team said was a hamstring injury that put him on the sidelines.
Chicago coach John Fox said the 32-year-old quarterback would
undergo further tests.
Backup quarterback Jimmy Clausen took over for Cutler.
