The Bills had a short week after losing to the Jets in the first Monday night game of the season, but the nature of the loss made it feel like a long one before they got on the field against the Raiders on Sunday.
When the Raiders cruised to a touchdown to open the game, it felt like it might be a long day as well. That changed when edge rusher Greg Rousseau batted a Jimmy Garoppolo pass in the air and linebacker Terrel Bernard intercepted it to end the second Raiders drive.
The Bills would outscore the Raiders 38-3 the rest of the way and Las Vegas managed just 151 more yards of offense the rest of the way. Edge rusher A.J. Epenesa said the unit was responding to a challenge laid down by head coach Sean McDermott, who is also serving as the defensive play caller this year.
