NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee Titans inside linebacker Avery Williamson wore special cleats to pay tribute to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in the teams opener against the Vikings at Nissan Stadium.Williamson joined several other players, including New York Giants wide receivers Victor Cruz and Odell Beckham Jr., in wearing the commemorative shoes.It was believed that Williamson would forgo his plans to wear the shoes once he learned he would be subject to the NFLs uniform code and would be fined.But after he warmed up in standard shoes, he emerged for the game in the special cleats.The navy blue shoes have 9-11-01 on the back of the left shoe, with the 11 in the shape of the World Trade Center. The right shoe says Never Forget.The Nike swoosh is filled in with red and white stripes, and the laces are red.I just felt like, I got so much support across the country, especially when the New York and New Jersey police unions said they would pay my fine, Williamson said. That really meant a lot. I felt like if I didnt wear them, I wouldnt have felt good about it. So I feel like I had to do that just for myself, to represent the people that were lost and do their jobs every day to protect us. I feel like it was my duty to myself.Remembrances were held around the league Sunday, including in Philadelphia, where Vice President Joe Biden joined 120 9/11 first responders on the sidelines during the national anthem before the Philadelphia Eagles game against the Cleveland Browns.Biden helped hold a flag that was the size of the field.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Sammy Watkins has coach Rex Ryans back.The Bills receiver strongly voiced his support for Ryan by saying he has no interest in seeing the team change coaches for the second time in Watkins three years in Buffalo.I dont want to keep going through all this craziness, Watkins said at his locker following practice Wednesday. That kills a player and a team and an organization. Im trying to move forward and trying to work on what I need to work on. I feel like with the coaches that we got, we can do it.Watkins raised his concerns at a time when Ryans future is in question less than 23 months since taking over after Doug Marrone abruptly opted out of his contract following a 9-7 finish in 2014. Watkins noted hes already playing under his third offensive coordinator after Greg Roman was fired two weeks into this season and replaced by Anthony Lynn.Saying its his intention to stay in Buffalo forever, Watkins said his sole objective is for the Bills to win their final three games and convince management to retain Ryan.The one thing Watkins doesnt want is to have Buffalo enter into yet another rebuilding process such as what the Bills next opponent, the winless Cleveland Browns (0-13), are going through.Thats kind of hard, he said. Its about trying to build on what weve already got and moving forward.Buffalo (6-7) is coming off two losses and in jeopardy of extending the NFLs longest active playoff drought to 17 seasons.Watkins voice carries some weight. Before Bills owners Terry and Kim Pegula approved Ryans request to fire Roman, they first consulted with several players, including Watkins.Watkins said hes not had any contact with the Pegulas regarding Ryan.All I know is were all on the hot seat. Weve got to win out, he said. Weve just got to go out and fight for what we have. We know if we lose, something crazy might happen immediately.Questions regarding Ryans long-term status arose last weekend following a 27-20 loss to Pittsburgh , during which Steelers running back LeVeon Bell scored three touchdowns and had 236 yards rushing. Bells total was a Steelers franchise best and also the most Buffalo has surrendered to one player.The loss came on the heelss of a 38-24 loss at Oakland , during which Buffalo squandered a 24-9 lead in the third quarter.ddddddddddddOn Wednesday, Ryan reiterated he was caught by surprise by questions regarding his job security.Theres only two peoples opinion that really matters, and thats Terry and Kim Pegula. Thats it, Ryan said. Now you might say, `Do you worry about it? Well, maybe I worry about it, but my thing is its not going to help me. I have to prepare this team, and its business as usual and lets go get this victory.A coaching switch would be a considerable change of course for the Pegulas, who purchased the team from the estate of late Hall of Fame owner Ralph Wilson in October 2014.Following Marrones departure, the Pegulas placed an emphasis on continuity, noting that had been lacking during the teams playoff drought.Ryan, who has three years left on his contract, is Buffalos seventh coach since 2000. Over the same span, the team is on its sixth general manager in Doug Whaley, who signed a three-year contract extension in January.The Pegulas have not commented on Bills matters since Roman was fired amid questions whether the decision was made by Ryan alone.In a text to The Associated Press, Terry Pegula backed Ryan by saying: We do things together like any well run org would. Head coach runs the team and staff.Guard Richie Incognito dismissed the speculation over Ryan by calling it media generated.You guys have to write articles and have to sell newspapers. You guys manufacture stuff like that to get attention, Incognito said. That stuff happens in your world. We dont see that in our locker room. That doesnt affect us. Were just trying to get three wins.Game notes DT Kyle Williams (back) did not practice, but Ryan is hopeful the starter will return after missing one game. ... Ryan said S James Ihedigbo continued playing against Pittsburgh despite a broken leg. Ihedigbo was placed on injured reserve Tuesday. ... Buffalo signed DE Greg Townsend Jr. to its practice squad.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
