Buffalo went 12-5 last season and lost to the Broncos in the Divisional Round of the 2026 playoffs. Sean McDermott was fired as head coach and OC Joe Brady was promoted to head coach.
NFL analyst Moe Moton of Bleacher Report is high on Brady, as he has the Bills going 11-6 in 2026 and winning the AFC East.
"The Bills will be back atop the AFC East and look to make a deeper playoff run than in years past," Moton wrote.
Buffalo had a great offseason. The front office acquire D.J. Moore from the Chicago Bears and signed Bradley Chubb and C.J. Gardner-Johnson in free agency.
The Bills have yet to reach the Super Bowl in the Allen era. That has to change soon. Otherwise, Allen will never be considered an all-time great.
The 2024 MVP, Allen finished with 3,668 passing yards, 25 passing touchdowns, 579 rushing yards and 14 rushing touchdowns last season. The Pro Bowler enters next season with 30,102 passing yards, 220 passing touchdowns, 4,721 rushing yards and 79 career rushing touchdowns.
"Still respecting the past and what's been here the last 10 years and not shying away from that, but also having his own twist on it," Allen said after Brady was named HC> "It's been really good to see him embrace the role and step into it. The way that he talks to the guys, you can tell he's very well respected with everybody in that locker room, and it's only going to continue to grow in my opinion."
