When asked about his actions that led to the ejection, Williams explained that he was initially trying to break things up between the two teams when his frustrations got the better of him.
"I really kinda just got frustrated in the time," Williams said Saturday during Pro Bowl events in Las Vegas. "We're playing without a quarterback [which] is already frustrating and losing one of the biggest games of your life.
"I think I just let my temper boil over a little too much. Like I said, my intentions was to break it up, I didn't go over there looking for a fight."
