Video: Former Arkansas RB Jonathan Williams rips off 37-yard TD run
With the Buffalo Bills having recently gotten rid of RB Karlos Williams, it could be the sign of a bigger role for rookie Jonathan Williams. The former Arkansas running back showed his new team a bit of what they can expect this fall with a 37-yard touchdown run Friday night against the Washington Redskins.

The Bills had a scare when Williams exited the game later after taking a hit that angered Bills coach Rex Ryan.

Rex Ryan is freaking out on the sidelines over the Jonathan Williams play. Williams is still down.

Later reports were positive:
