So far, the Joey Bosa signing is paying off splendidly for the Buffalo Bills ahead of Thursday night's showdown with the Miami Dolphins.
Through two games, Bosa has a sack, an NFL-high three forced fumbles, and leads the Bills with eight QB pressures.
"I think I have a lot to prove to mainly myself, because that's all that really matters, that I still have stuff to give to this game," Bosa told The Associated Press this week. "It's just nice to have a fresh start with a new team and get to experience football in a different environment and a whole new situation."
Bosa, who turned 30 in July, has been plagued by injuries the past three seasons, playing in just 28 of 51 games. Now, in Buffalo, the edge rusher is feeling fresh.
"It is crazy to think that I'm 30, but I have a lot of life left," Bosa said. "And when I'm feeling good, I feel nice and young. And I'm feeling as good as I have my entire career."
The Bills inked Bosa to a one-year, $12.61 million contract, with an additional $3 million in performance incentives, in hopes he'd be the consistent force opposite Gregory Rousseau that they've missed since Von Miller's injury struck in 2022.
It's only been two weeks, but Bosa's ability to play in the backfield has paid dividends.
"Mentally, maybe a little older. But physically, I'm feeling pretty good right now," Bosa said. "Old Joey, new Joey, I think I'm just Joey. And I think when I'm healthy and I'm feeling good, I play good football."
The key for Bosa will be staying healthy for the long haul. Buffalo isn't after September wins, it's chasing a February Lombardi.
