A strange 2025 NFL season is nearing its end, with everyone eyeing the Buffalo Bills in the AFC as the team without many remaining excuses. Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs are officially out of the postseason race, as are Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals. The roadblocks that have persisted in Buffalo’s path back to the Super Bowl are no more.
Of course, new roadblocks have formed. The Bills aren’t playing a brand of football that inspires confidence that they can waltz through a reshaped AFC field unscathed. After all, they went into halftime in each of their past three games down, only to will themselves to victory in the end.
