The Bills won 13 games, dominated the AFC East, and reached the AFC Championship last year.
Josh Allen won league MVP. And some think heβs passed Patrick Mahomes as the best player in the NFL.
But in the playoffs, they fell to Mahomes and the Chiefs.
Now? The pressure to finally break through and prove it is massive.
Last year: 13β4
Lost to the Chiefs in Round 3
Division: AFC East

β Stars to Know
Ready to meet the players who are ready to step up and lead the Bills to the Super Bowl?
Josh Allen β Quarterback
Allen was the best player in the NFL last year. And somehow, that still doesnβt feel like the full story.
He threw lasers, bulldozed defenders, and carried the Bills back to the AFC Championship.
At his best, no one in football combines arm strength, creativity, and athletic ability like he does. If Buffalo finally makes the Super Bowl? Itβll be because Allen keeps playing like Superman.
James Cook β Running Back
The Bills leaned on Cook more than ever last seasonβ¦ and he delivered. He racked up big yards, scored in bunches, and brought speed and balance to Buffaloβs offense.
Whether itβs breaking off a 40-yard run or breaking a tackle for a first down, Cook gives the Bills exactly what they need: someone who makes defenses pay for focusing too much on Allen.
Christian Benford β Cornerback
Benford keeps proving people wrong.
A sixth-round pick back in 2022, heβs now Buffaloβs top corner. And one of the best cornerbacks in the league.
He plays with smarts and toughness, and the Bills trust him to take on the other teamβs top receiver every week. In a defense full of veterans, Benford is the rising star.
π Stories to Watch
Big goals come with big questions. These are the storylines to watch in Buffalo.
Whoβs Josh Allen Throwing To?
Itβs up to receiver Keon Coleman and tight end Dalton Kincaid to step up.
Coleman is tall, strong, and loves to make tough catches. Kincaid is fast, smooth, and hard to guard.
One of them needs to become Allenβs go-to guyβ¦ and fast.
Can Bosa Make a Big Comeback?
When he was on the Chargers, Joey Bosa used to be one of the best pass rushers in football.
The Bills are hoping he still is.
They brought him in this year to help sack the quarterback. But in the past few years heβs had trouble staying healthy.
If Bosaβs back to full strength, he could make this defense scary.
Will the AFC East Be a Cakewalk?
The Bills have won their division five years in a row. But this year? It could be a battle.
The Dolphins are still lightning-fast on offense. The Jets have a brand-new coach and quarterback. And the Patriots have second-year QB Drake Maye, who made the Pro Bowl as a rookie.
Buffalo is still the favorite. But if they want to stay on top, theyβll have to earn it.
π Did You Know?
Buffalo fans call themselves the βBills Mafia.β
It started as a joke. But it grew into a movement based on loyalty, loudness... and occasional table smashes.
Yep, really. Some Bills fans hurl themselves through folding tables during tailgates.
π₯ When the Savannah Bananas are jumping through tables in your honorβ¦ youβve officially made it.
But the true spirit of Bills Mafia is something else entirely: generosity.
They've raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for opposing playersβ charities.
When Andy Dalton helped the Bengals knock the Ravens out of the playoffs in 2017 (sending the Bills back into the playoffs for the first time in 17 years!), fans raised over $400,000 for his foundation.
When Ravens tight end Mark Andrews had a heartbreaking drop in Buffaloβs 2025 playoff win, Bills fans raised over $100,000 for his charity.
Itβs all a gesture of good sportsmanship. Theyβve taken that energy off the tailgate lot and turned it into something bigger.
Earlier we mentioned Allen and Mahomes going head to head. Well, this is the game everyone still talks about.
Back in 2021, in the Divisional Round of the Playoffsβ¦
π₯ Some say this was the wildest playoff game ever.
Hard to top that one. But guess what? Weβll see Allen vs. Mahomes again this year in Buffalo.
Mark your calendars for November 17.
Enjoy your Saturday! Tomorrow, weβve got something fun lined up.
