Romo overthrew Roy Williams and DJ Williams jacked him pretty good. Kept him on the sidelines during the Cowboys final couple plays.

Week 5: Get ready for a tough, physical game !

Ouch. Sucks to be hung out to dry like that.

Williams said of his injured ribs. "They're painful, but they're good. ... I'm looking forward to playing this week."

I just hope for a clean game this next sunday with no injuries on both sides.

Has he gotten his wind back lol?

Would that be considered a defenseless receiver?

Was thinking the same thing. Ball is out of reach, never touched, and there's plenty of time for the defender to pull out of that trajectory and soften the blow.

There's some other replay views on youtube...in DJ's Defense...he's coming in hard and not in super slow motion....and he just kinda braces for the impact...if he would have been going full steam at that angle Williams would have been completely flipped and DJ would have gone through him instead of falling backwards...although he did celebrate afterwards when he didn't see a flag... YouTube - milehighfootball's Channel just push play on the main window...the guy editing went for maximum effects...but if you see the angle at 4:56 you can see he pulls up just to take the hit...I thought he'd get flagged too..but I'm not complaining
