Greg Rousseau is on an absolute heater to start the 2026 NFL season. The Buffalo Bills just edged out the Los Angeles Chargers in a 24-16 win, a game some might call ugly. But for Rousseau and the Bills’ defense, it was a showcase of pure effort. He dropped the Chargers’ QB for two sacks, bringing his season total to an insane six sacks across three games.
History-Making Dominance
Six sacks in three games is not just a hot start; it’s a Buffalo Bills franchise record. Think about that for a second. Not even Pro Football Hall of Famer Bruce Smith managed to rack up six sacks in the first three matchups of a season. Rousseau is truly in uncharted territory right now, setting a new benchmark for defensive linemen in Bills history. The Bills are sitting at a strong 3-0, while the Chargers are still searching for their first win at 0-3.
The Confidence Factor
Bills’ offensive coordinator Joe Brady was asked to explain Rousseau’s unbelievable performance, and his answer was simple: confidence. “He’s confident right now,” Brady said after the win. “With any player, once you get a little taste of success you think ‘hey, it’s coming.’” It’s clear that taste of success has Rousseau believing in himself, and the results are undeniable.
This level of play early in the season has everyone watching. Rousseau is absolutely on fire, and that confidence seems to be the fuel. It’ll be exciting to see if he can keep this historic pace going.
