Saints fans in New Orleans are letting their team and rookie defensive back Marcus Williams know they still love them even after Sunday’s heart-breaking loss to the Minnesota Vikings.
Fans put up a billboard in the city telling Williams— who missed a key tackle on the last play of Sunday’s game—that his mistake isn’t worth dwelling on.
“Dat’s OK Marcus,” the billboard read. “We (love) our Saints.”
On the last play of Sunday's NFC Divisional Round game against the Vikings, Williams missed a key tackle on Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs which led to Diggs' 61-yard, game-winning touchdown.
Williams was seen crying in the Saints' locker room after the loss by reporters.
Williams broke his silence on the play with a post on Twitter on Monday afternoon.
“I appreciate my friends, real fans, family, and team for everything they have done for me this season all of the support is highly appreciated!” Williams wrote. “No the season didn’t end as planned but one thing for sure I won’t let one play define the type of MAN or PLAYER that I am or will be!”
