In the spirit of Halloween, Williams showed up at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, in a Joker costume — makeup and all.
Wearing a burgundy suit with a mustard vest and green button-down, Williams looked like the Joaquin Phoenix version of the comic book villain and posed for photos with Jets fans waiting outside the door before heading to the locker room for the match.

Williams showed off the inside of his jacket, which was filled with Joker faces.
He couldn't keep the Joker makeup on when he took the court Thursday night, but Williams is hoping for a win after a scary 2-6 start to the season.
AARON RODGERS RESPONDS TO CRITICISM THAT HE DIDN'T LOOK 'MOBILE' IN LOSS TO PATRIOTS: 'HE'S PROBABLY RIGHT'
New York was upset on the road last week against the New England Patriots, a shocking loss that prompted interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich to suggest the team was in a “moment of darkness.”
That's never what you want to hear a coach say about his team, but it couldn't be more true for a Jets team that entered the 2024 campaign with high expectations as Aaron Rodgers & Co . came back healthy and hungry.

But this team has dug itself a hole to the point where another loss could bury its hopes of ending a 13-year playoff drought.
Williams continues to play for a strong defensive unit for the Jets with 57 combined tackles, five of which ended in a loss. He also has one forced fumble, two fumble recoveries and one pass defended in eight games.
Williams, the younger brother of Jets star defensive tackle Quinnen Williams, had a career-high 139 tackles (15 for loss) with one interception last season.
