Greg Rousseau applies his trade as a pass rusher for the Buffalo Bills. However, it was a play on special teams that earned him a league honor on Wednesday. The NFL named Rousseau its AFC Special Teams Player of the Week after his block of a potential game-winning 48-yard field goal in overtime of the Bills' 37-34 win over the Los Angeles Rams on Monday night. The Bills capitalized minutes later, as Tyler Bass nailed a 45-yard field goal with 1:55 left in overtime. It was the first time in 11 seasons that a blocked field goal in overtime directly led to a victory in an NFL game.
