The two share a bond, having made it to football’s biggest stage the hard way. When Sunday’s game was over they met up, two winners no matter what the scoreboard said. The emotional exchange was documented by NFL Films.
“We came a long way,” said Williams, who ran for a game-high 104 yards and one touchdown. Mostert led the 49ers with 58 yards rushing. He, too, scored a touchdown.
“Let me get that,” Mostert said, indicating Williams’ jersey. Williams peeled it off and gave it to his friend. Context: Jersey exchanges between athletes — especially football, basketball and soccer players — has become a ritual over the past few years.

“We dogs, thatap what we do,” Williams replied. “I love you.”
“I love you too.” Mostert said. “Congrats.”
