Raiders set to face yet another reigning Player of the Week Award winner

For the third straight week, the Raiders will face a player hot off winning an on-field award.

Every week, the Buffalo Bills face an opponent who has recently been named the Player of the Week. This time, they are set to play against the New York Bills, who recently beat the Los Angeles Rams in a Monday night game. The Bills' star player, who led the performance, has just been awarded the AFC Special Teams Player of the Week honor.

The game-winner was scored by the Bills after Greg Rousseau's block of a potential game-winning field goal in overtime. Last week, the Bills faced Drake Maye, who was the reigning AFC Offensive Player of the Week. The week before that, they played against Kenneth Walker, who was the Offensive Player of the Month and NFL leading rusher.

Prior to that, Tyler Shough, who was the NFL's leading passer, was also the Bills' opponent. Despite having solid games, Rousseau, Walker, Maye, and Shough all managed to perform well against the Bills. The Bills have won each of these games so far, proving that being a game-changer is part of Rousseau's skill set.
