‘Rousseau started hot out of the gate with a six-tackle performance, which included a career-best three sacks of Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray. One of those sacks also resulted in a forced turnover in the third quarter of Buffalo’s 34-28 win at Highmark Stadium.’

Several thousand Bills fans will gather every year to not only celebrate their favorite team, but also meet with other dedicated Bills fans from around the world.’
Opinion: Bills at Dolphins: Sal's keys, notes and stats
‘The Bills will need to make them work for everything they get, and not give up free, big plays. Every snap they force Miami to take is another chance to make a defensive play.’

McDermott: 'It's about points, not yards' against Miami
‘”Typically against the Dolphins with their high-powered offense, it’s about points, not yards, and then taking care of the football,” McDermott explained. “You look at the games that we’ve played, the first game last season, we were able to take the ball away and score, and score touchdowns rather than field goals. In the second game, we had yards, but not as many points. So it’s points over yards, and making sure we take care of the ball.”‘

Buffalo Bills need far better showing than they gave in opener to beat Miami Dolphins
‘The Cardinals have nowhere near the offensive firepower the Bills will face Thursday night, yet Arizona found a way to take control early and put Buffalo into a deep hole from which Josh Allen’s extreme heroics were needed for his team to escape. The Bills need to show that, beyond Allen, they can step up their performance against an opponent that’s their greatest threat to win another AFC East title.’
Bills vs. Dolphins preview going into week 2
‘I’m going back to the well for the biggest x-factor I think for this entire Bills defense. In the 1st half against Arizona Sunday, there was very little if any pressure put on Kyler Murray when he dropped back to pass. 2nd half, different story and the overall performance of the D vastly improved. Greg Rousseau was the catalyst, registering a career-high 3 sacks en route to earning AFC Defensive Player of the Week honors. It’s obvious Rousseau won’t be bringing the QB down that much week in and week out, but if he can continue to ascend into a pass rusher envisioned as a 1st round pick, the entire dynamic of the defensive front and defense as a whole shifts. Heck, even Von Miller got his first sack since suffering a torn ACL on Thanksgiving 2022.’
AFC Defensive Player of the Week award comes to Buffalo
‘Bills edge rusher Greg Rousseau claimed the award after a standout performance in the 34-28 win over the Arizona Cardinals. Rousseau had an AFC-leading three sacks along with a forced fumble and six tackles.’
Thad’s Three Things: Bills at Dolphins
‘The Bills aren’t going to totally erase Miami’s big play ability. There’s too much speed at Mike McDaniel’s disposal (if healthy) for any team to do that. Buffalo has to at least make it hard. Force Tua Tagovailoa to drive the field in 13 or 15 plays as often as possible. Push him to keep reading and diagnosing defenses.’
Bills go extra mile to keep reserves ready
‘Defensive coordinator Bobby Babich said Bills coaches take pride in making sure their backups are ready if they are called upon during the game. Making that happen is largely about both coaches and players putting in the time.’
