The feel-good Week 17 story for UNC fans was Antonio Williams’ NFL debut for the Buffalo Bills. In the Bills’ 56-26 home win over the Miami Dolphins, Williams ran for 63 yards and two touchdowns and caught a pass for 20 more yards. In that game, the Bills’ Andre Smith forced the Dolphins’ Mack Hollins to fumble after Hollins’ only reception of the game. (Tar Heel Tribune)
