The Buffalo Bills' championship window is still wide open.
They have one of the most complete rosters in the league, and are of course led by MVP quarterback Josh Allen. However, Bills fans are growing impatient with coming up just short over the last half a decade, and things can take a turn for the worse quickly in the NFL.
NFL.com analyst Eric Edholm recently ranked the teams that are most likely to win a Super Bowl among those that haven't yet. Topping that list is the Bills, with Edholm having this to say:
"Everyone knows the Bills’ story: four straight Super Bowl appearances, no victories. But that doesn’t tell it all. Buffalo has played multiple playoff games each of the past five seasons, losing twice to the Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game in that span. Painfully close to a dream deferred, yet still so far from the elusive rings. But with Josh Allen, those dreams can’t be shelved. The reigning league MVP is at least as talented as the recent championship quarterbacks. He’s in his prime at age 29, supported by a top-tier offensive line, promising skill-position weapons and a creative play-caller in Joe Brady. Whether the defense can hold up its end of the bargain is another question. The Bills added reinforcements to the defensive line and secondary, their two most vulnerable areas. The challenge will be getting the rookies up to speed as quickly as possible; with Michael Hoecht and Larry Ogunjobi both facing six-game suspensions (and Joey Bosa encountering more health issues), Buffalo's defensive depth could be thin early in the season. Thankfully, the regular-season schedule appears manageable, even with some tough games, and Buffalo is king of the AFC East hill until proven otherwise. With a pretty loaded roster, the 2025 Bills have a real opportunity to fulfill their Super Bowl dreams." --Eric Edholm
While it's nice to be at the top of this list, it's also frustrating to be a part of it. The Bills have what it takes to get over the hump, but have yet to execute it. Getting home field advantage throughout the postseason and peaking performance-wise during January will be vital to Buffalo finally winning its first Lombardi Trophy in franchise history.
