Leonard Williams is having a great season on the field for the Seahawks, and he was at his best in Sunday's win over the Cardinals, recording 2.5 sacks, three tackles for loss, six tackles and a pass defensed.

And a day after that standout performance, Williams was also recognized for his sportsmanship, being named the Seahawks' nominee for the 2024 Art Rooney Sportsmanship Award.

The award, created in 2014, honors former Steelers owner Art Rooney Sr., and recognizes the player who best demonstrates the qualities of on-field sportsmanship, including fair play, respect for the game and opponents and integrity in competition.

Last year, linebacker Bobby Wagner became the first Seahawks player to win the Art Rooney Sportsmanship Award, which was first given to Cardinals receiver Larry Fitzgerald in 2014.

A panel of former players, including Fitzgerald, will select eight finalists from the initial list of 32 nominees, and those eight finalists will be listed on the Pro Bowl ballot in December for players to select a winner.

The Seahawks rattled off another big win over a divisional opponent to improve to 6-5 on the season. Check out some of the best moments from the team's celebration after their big win.
