Buffalo gave up at least 29 points in four of its first six games, 171 in all, or 28.5 a game. In the last two it has allowed 16 points total: 10 to Baltimore and six to Minnesota.
Greg Rousseau is a big part of that. Through the first nine weeks, the team says, he was first in the league in quarterback hits with 25, tied for second in sacks with eight and fifth in forced fumbles with three. The Bills also added safety Amani Hooker from Tennessee at the deadline, sending a 2027 second-round pick for Hooker and a 2027 fifth.
