Rivalries are good for the NFL. And the league is filled with great rivalries, be it the Cowboys vs. Steelers, Bears vs. Packers or the Raiders vs. anybody.

The Chargers and Broncos appeared headed to join the list of great rivalries, highlighted by a pair of young quarterbacks Jay Cutler and Philip Rivers, whose jawing in 2008 looked similar to a professional wrestling feud. An NFL version of Shawn Michaels vs. Bret Hart, if you will.

That budding rivalry was cut short when Cutler was traded to the Bears last year, but new Broncos DT Jamal Williams wants to put that rivalry back in the limelight.

Williams told the Denver Post that he was looking forward to getting in his shots at his former quarterback.

“We text each other. We’re an hour ahead here, so I wake up and text him and say, ‘I’m an hour better than you young man. You don’t have that red jersey on during practice now,’” Williams said.
