Greg Rousseau named AFC Defensive Player of the Month after historic September

Buffalo Bills edge defender Greg Rousseau earned AFC Defensive Player of the Month honors for September after compiling six sacks and three forced fusions during a spotless three-game opening stretch. The standout performance mirrors historical milestones achieved by former greats Mark Gastineau, Kevin Greene, Bruce Smith, and Bryce Paup by registering at least two sacks in three consecutive matches.

Rousseau opened the campaign with dual-sack outings against Houston, Detroit, and Los Angeles, bringing his early total to fifteen tackles alongside a single defended pass. The stellar sequence leaves him just one sack shy of his entire output from the previous season while fueling Buffalo's unblemished start.
