The Buffalo Bills were dealt a brutal blow last week when it was revealed that star middle linebacker Matt Milano would be out indefinitely with a torn bicep.
The Bills will need a massive increase in production from multiple defenders in the wake of the loss of the All-Pro linebacker, and it looks like a pass rusher is going to be stepping up his game.
Greg Rousseau had a massive performance against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 2 of the preseason, racking up four tackles, two tackles for loss, and 2.5 sacks. His performance earned him a 91.0 overall grade from PFF.

The Bills will need a large boost from their pass rush, especially with the departure of Leonard Floyd and Von Miller having a disappointing year in 2023.
Plus, if the Bills want to ever get over that Kansas City Chiefs-sized hump, they will need to get to Mahomes with four rushers. If Rousseau takes a leap, that's a big plus for the Bills and their Super Bowl hopes.
