Williams' sack was his first full sack as a member of the Giants and surpassed his 2019 total of 0.5 sacks.[47] In Week 13 against the Seattle Seahawks, Williams recorded 2.5 sacks on Russell Wilson during the 17–12 win.[48] Williams was named the NFC Defensive Player of the Week for his performance in Week 13.[49] In Week 17 against the Dallas Cowboys, Williams recorded three sacks on Andy Dalton during the 23–19 win.[50] Williams won the NFC Defensive Player Of The Week Award again for his performance.
