‘Rousseau is ranked second in tackles for a loss (12), third in quarterback hits (18) and knockdowns (12) and eighth in pressures (26).

‘Buffalo sits at 9-2 for a number of reasons, the biggest of which being No. 17 under center being the best player in football. And while many were practically engraving Lamar Jackson’s name into the 2024 MVP Award for the last several weeks, Josh Allen has proven that he is the one who should be crowned as the league’s top performer of 2024, with his 26 yard viral scramble against the Chiefs being the exclamation point on his work thus far. However, it is a different stat that shows just how great Allen is compared to just about every other quarterback in the NFL.’
Bills could clinch AFC East without playing in Week 12
‘For those playing at home, the scenario is simple. The Dolphins take to the field twice before the Bills return from this week’s bye to face the 49ers, meaning just one loss to either the Patriots or Packers would leave them too far back to close the gap.’

Bills at the bye: Taking inventory of what’s worked and what hasn’t thus far
‘Allen has struggled with decision-making and accuracy on first down, completing 61.7% of his passes (more than two points lower than his season average) and it hasn’t generated throws downfield as his 6.7 yards per attempt is nearly a yard lower than his overall total this season.’
How Josh Allen’s divergence is helping him close the gap on Patrick Mahomes
‘And so Week 11, in which Allen beat Mahomes, felt like a reminder of where Allen’s career has diverged from that of Mahomes.
