"In his first game as an outside linebacker in Wade Phillips' 3-4 defense, Mario Williams recorded two sacks and forced Colts quarterback Kerry Collins into an intentional grounding call.

"Throughout camp, there were questions about how he's adjusting to the linebacker position, and he steps up and has two sacks and three quarterback hurries," coach Gary Kubiak said. "Some of it was with his hand up (off the turf when the ball was snapped), some of it was with it down, and that's how he's going to play all year.""
