New England, without a postseason berth since 2021, is in pursuit of the Bills, the AFC East champions for five seasons running. Williams knows catching Buffalo starts with slowing quarterback Josh Allen, although he's never faced the reigning Most Valuable Player -- the DT's only missed game of his four-year career came against Allen and Co.

"I ended up missing that game against Josh Allen," Williams said on the Green Light with Chris Long podcast. "So, I haven't got to play him yet. Since I got here just talking with (Christian) Barmore, he was like, 'Yeah, Josh Allen is probably the hardest quarterback I've had to bring down.' Just big, fast, he kind of reminds me of Cam Newton. I compare him to Cam Newton, just being that big, being that mobile, having such a big arm, make any throw. It's going to be a challenge, but I'm up for it. I'm up for it for sure."

Williams and Allen will get acquainted in short order, with two meetings a year scheduled as the Patriots try to reset the divisional order to where it was for New England's two-decade run of dominance not so long ago.
