Rousseau recorded seven total tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks and an additional two tackles for loss, in Sunday's 30-27 win over the Dolphins. The fourth-year pro wreaked havoc on the Dolphins' offensive line in Sunday's win, as he was the only Bill to take down Tua Tagovailoa while also logging an additional two tackles for loss. Rousseau is having one of the best seasons of his young career through nine games, recording 33 total tackles, including 4.5 sacks, and two passes defended. He's expected to continue causing problems for opposing offenses as the Bills face the Colts in Week 10.

Rousseau recorded four tackles (three solo) and two passes defensed during Sunday's 31-10 win at Seattle. Rousseau's production in the sack column has dried up since he tallied 3.0 sacks in Week 1 versus the Cardinals, but he proved Sunday he can still make an impact without getting to the quarterback. He'll be after Tua Tagovailoa when Buffalo hosts the Dolphins in Week 9.

Rousseau recorded six tackles (all solo) including 3.0 sacks, and a forced fumble during Sunday's 34-28 win versus the Cardinals. One of his sacks in Week 1 came on a foot race to the sideline with Kyler Murray, whose exceptional speed Rousseau was basically able to match after shedding right tackle Jonah Williams (knee). It's a dynamite start for a player looking for the first double-digit sack season of his career. He'll be pursuing Tua Tagovailoa when the Bills trek to Miami in Week 2.

The Bills will exercise Rousseau's 2025 fifth-year team option, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reports. The 24-year-old was the 30th overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft and has 17 sacks through three seasons as a 46-game starter for Buffalo. Rousseau played a career-high 585 defensive snaps last season. The Bills need Rousseau, A.J. Epenesa and veteran Von Miller to key their pass rush in 2024 after notably only adding fifth-round rookie Javon Solomon off the edge and losing Leonard Floyd's 10.5 sacks in free agency.

Rousseau completed the 2023 regular season with 42 tackles (including 5.0 sacks), four passes defensed, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery. Rousseau saw a career-high snaps on defense (558), so perhaps it's a bit disappointing that he fell eight tackles short of his rookie season and 3.0 sacks short of the career-high 8.0 he posted in 2022. With the playoff perennial Bills facing so much turnover on both sides of the ball, the 2021 first-rounder may be expected to hit another gear if the team is to take a fifth straight AFC East title. A.J. Epenesa has already proven capable of helping Rousseau with the pass rush on the other side of the line, but everyone could gain if Von Miller, who's missed significant time the past two seasons, can consistently spark the pass rush.
