Williams says Shanahan made the team believe they could win the Super Bowl, not because of locker room chemistry but because of his coaching.

“The fact that he made us competitive, the fact that we believed that we could go win a Super Bowl, we literally believed. And it’s not because of what we had in the locker room, but what we had in a coach.”
