The Buffalo Bills have not been mentioned as strong Super Bowl contenders to this extent since the rise of Josh Allen. With momentum building around Allen and his team, many are beginning to believe the Bills could finally secure their first-ever Super Bowl victory this season.
One major obstacle remains: overcoming Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs, a team that has bested the Bills in every matchup, leaving Buffalo with an 0-4 record against them. Still, conversations among experts suggest the Bills might be the most likely team in the AFC to challenge and perhaps dethrone the Chiefs.
Momentum Drives Confidence in Bills’ Super Bowl Chances
Former NFL receiver Isaiah Stanback recently emphasized the momentum Josh Allen and the Bills currently possess as a key factor setting them apart. On Good Morning Football, Stanback stated,
“I’m going to go with the team and the quarterback that I feel has the most momentum of late, and I believe that is Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills.”
He highlighted Allen’s consistent yearly growth culminating in an MVP award, underscoring Buffalo’s upward trajectory over the last several seasons.
Stanback further added,
“Josh Allen and the Bills over the last three years have gone wildcard, divisional, went all the way to the AFC Championship game. I believe these guys are one game away from going to the big-time show.”
This perspective suggests the Bills have become a persistent and improving force in the AFC, capable of finally breaking through.
Challenges and Rivalries Define the AFC Landscape
With Allen at the peak of his career and a largely intact offensive roster returning, the Bills appear ready to test their championship mettle. Despite the Chiefs being considered more vulnerable last year, Buffalo still fell short of ending their dominance. As the new season unfolds, key players across the AFC, including Lamar Jackson with the Baltimore Ravens and Joe Burrow with the Cincinnati Bengals, share the desire to overcome the Chiefs and claim the title.
The question remains whether this renewed momentum will translate into a playoff victory over Mahomes and his team. Many see this season as a crucial opportunity for Allen and the Bills to convert their promise into realizing a Super Bowl win that has eluded them for decades.
