1) Mario Williams looking to prove a point

Mario Williams going up against his last team is arguably the most compelling storyline in a contest filled with them. Certainly, you would be hard-pressed to find anyone on the Dolphins team more motivated to win on Sunday.

Wiliams experienced several highs and lows on an individual basis, during his tenure in Western New York. In truth, the majority of his time with the Bills was a success, filled with Pro Bowls and double-digit sack seasons, including a career high 14.5 in 2014.

However, most analysts will likely concentrate on the 31-year old’s final year in Buffalo. Unhappy with Ryan’s defensive schemes — and very vocal about it — the 2015 campaign saw regular criticism about his work ethic and lack of leadership.

Unfortunately for Williams, he has done little so far with the Dolphins to suggest he will return to his previous form. How much impact he has on Sunday is debatable, but you can at least expect to see an improved effort, as he attempts to prove — in his mind at least — the Bills were wrong to release him.
