NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Rashad Jennings had a pregame message for Andre Williams: This will be your breakout game.

“He said he had a feeling during pregame that this was going to be a big one for me,” Williams said, “and he was right.”

The rookie had the same feeling.

“I felt really calm today,” Williams said after Giants 36, Titans 7. “I can’t call it what exactly it was that I was feeling, but I just felt calm and like I was ready to play.”

He rumbled 24 times for 131 yards, including a signature 50-yard TD after he bobbled the toss. He added three catches for 16 yards. It was his first 100-yard game as a pro.

“The play was just blocked up perfectly,” Williams said. “We called three runs in a row, and I could tell that the defense was getting a little gassed. I was a little gassed as well, but they blocked it up perfectly. I kind of fumbled the toss a little bit ’cause I was looking ahead to see whether I had to slow down and make a cut back, but it worked out great.”

His touchdown, around left end, gave the Giants a 30-0 lead early in the third quarter. He was asked how he stayed focused after nearly losing the toss from Eli Manning.

“I’m not sure how I did it. … I guess it’s just experience, growing as a player, and being patient, and not trying to run out of my shoes every time I get the ball,” Williams said. “Just prioritize what has to happen before I get up field and get yards. I knew I had to take care of the ball, so I just took my time and just made sure I got it secure before I got up field.”

His adrenaline had worn off late in the first half and early in the third quarter, but he pushed through.

“I had the resolve that I wanted to win, so I overcame it,” Williams said.

Jennings, who has helped mentor Williams, was beaming with pride afterward.

“I told him before the game started, I said, ‘Look brah, this game right here’s going to be your breakout game,” Jennings said.

Jennings (two rushes for 5 yards, one catch for 17 yards) reported no setbacks.

“I didn’t really know what was going to happen,” Williams said. “I knew I was taking most of the snaps in practice, so I knew I was going to play a major role in the game, but I wasn’t sure exactly how it was gonna turn out.”

It turned out Andre the Giant.
