DE Joey Bosa (All B1G, B1G Def POY, All-American, National Champion, Def ROY, 5x Pro Bowl, Buffalo Bills)

Bosa’s fifth forced fumble sets up scoop-and-score​

Joey Bosa became the NFL’s outright leader in forced fumbles with a game-changing strip sack in the Buffalo Bills’ win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday.

With the Steelers leading 7-3 to start the second half, Bosa rushed around the outside of Steelers right guard Mason McCormick to hit Aaron Rodgers from behind and knock the ball out of his hands. His Bills teammate Christian Benford scooped up the loose ball and returned it for a go-ahead touchdown, and the Bills never looked back from there, going on to win the game 26-7.


The forced fumble was Bosa’s fifth of the season, breaking a tie with Aidan Hutchinson, Nate Landman and Josh Sweat for the most in the NFL this year.

Like Ransom, Bosa unfortunately suffered an injury of his own on Sunday, leaving the game late in the fourth quarter with a hamstring issue. It’s uncertain if and how long Bosa – who played in all of the Bills’ first 12 games after missing time with injuries in all of the last three seasons – will be sidelined by the injury.

“We’ll see where that goes,” Bills coach Sean McDermott said Monday.
