Greg Rousseau is off to a great start

The Buffalo Bills used their first round pick on Greg Rousseau as they tried to improve their pass rush. The early returns have been great as Rousseau played well in the preseason and he has continued that trend into the regular season.

He earned the starting job last week against the Pittsburgh Steelers and made a few key plays. However, it was this game against the Dolphins that he started to dial up the sacks and finished with two. This was the first time a rookie has had a multi-sack game since Ed Oliver accomplished it in 2019.

The Bills defensive end position is one of the deepest on the team and Greg Rousseau is leading the way for a group that looks vastly improved from a season ago.
