Last season, the Buffalo Bills had a season to remember. The team finished with a 13-4 record, won the AFC East, and made the conference title game. Most of the success was due to quarterback Josh Allen, who won his first league MVP.
Allen threw for 3,731 yards and 28 touchdowns while rushing for 531 yards and 12 scores in 16 games. The Bills’ offense has always been among the best in the NFL under Allen, but last year was special. Last season was the first time since 2019 without star receiver Stefon Diggs. The Bills traded Diggs to the Houston Texans last offseason. With Diggs gone, receivers like Khalil Shakir and Keon Coleman stepped up.
Buffalo Should Have a Good Season
This year, the Bills will be looking to have one of the best offenses in the NFL once again.
Buffalo added wide receiver Josh Palmer and brought back running back James Cook. There were concerns that Cook wouldn’t play for the Bills this season since he was entering the final year of his contract.
Cook was holding in through a portion of training camp, then last week agreed to a new contract that will keep him in Buffalo for a while.
The Bills’ offense will be the reason why the team makes it back to the postseason, since the defense will have some hiccups. If Allen plays like he did last year, then the Bills could reach the Super Bowl.
Bills’ Offense Ranked No. 1
With less than three weeks before the start of the regular season, Sheil Kapadia from The Ringer ranked the best NFL offenses heading into the year. Kapadia has the Bills as the No. 1 offense for the 2025 season.
“For the Gen Zers, I’ll keep it brief since I’m sure you have much more important things to do: Josh Allen equals elite offense. Are we good here? OK, for the rest of you: The Bills have finished top three in offensive efficiency in each of the past three seasons. They have changed receivers, running backs, and offensive coordinators, and it hasn’t mattered that much. We can say pretty definitively that as long as Allen is healthy, the Bills will have a great offense. He is a dual-threat monster and one of the most durable quarterbacks in the NFL,” Kapadia wrote.
“There are only two things here that make me question whether the Bills can be quite as good as they were last year. One, they turned the ball over on just 4 percent of their offensive drives last season. That’s the lowest rate of any offense in the past 25 years! On one hand, that’s great. On the other, such turnover avoidance is difficult to sustain year to year. The second thing is that the Bills got tremendous injury luck up front. They were one of two teams last season whose offensive line played more than 800 snaps together. Injuries are impossible to predict, but it’s possible that Buffalo’s O-line depth will get tested more in 2025. Now that I’ve said that, we just have too much evidence that Allen is going to figure it out. I think that the Bills will field another juggernaut this year.” Kapadia added.
The Bills know this might be one of the last chances they get to reach the Super Bowl with this current core. The team is getting older, and the AFC is getting difficult. So the offense needs to take off this season and help Buffalo win their first Super Bowl in franchise history.
