LOS ANGELES — Brandon Staley spent several days late last season defending his decision to play his starters as much as he did in a regular-season finale that was statistically meaningless for the Chargers.
On Wednesday, the player most impacted by that call defended it, too, Mike Williams saying he had no regrets about the team's ill-fated Week 18 trip to Denver.
"I mean, the coach wanted us to play, so that's what we had to do," Williams said, speaking publicly on the subject for the first time. "That's what we get paid to do, play football. I was with whatever decision he made."
