Opposing quarterbacks are quickly learning what A.J. Epenesa can do on the field, where the young pass rusher appears to be making up for lost time. The second-year pro has been a vital and integral part of the Bills’ resurgent pass rush, showcasing the skills that made him a second-round pick in 2020. Epenesa’s progress has been significant following what was essentially a lost rookie season. Epenesa had two quarterback hits and helped the Bills finish with six sacks in Sunday’s 35-0 win over the Miami Dolphins. Epenesa sent Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa out of the game on a clean, but impactful hit five minutes into the first quarter.
