FOX Sports recently reported that the Buffalo Bills are favored to win the Super Bowl in 2025. That prediction stirs memories of Buffalo’s many Super Bowl disappointments. Buffalo has everything needed for a title run, with a full complement of offensive weapons returning and 2024 NFL MVP Josh Allen leading the offense.
Given this, Buffalo’s Super Bowl hopes rest squarely on Allen. The offense centers on Allen and his unique skills. Fans everywhere are asking: Can Josh Allen get the Bills to the Super Bowl?
Recently, former running back Thurman Thomas declared Allen can lead the Bills to a Super Bowl. He went further, predicting Allen would win two championships with Buffalo. The irony is clear, given Thomas’s own role in the team’s four Super Bowl defeats.
Historical Precedence
Historically, even the greatest quarterbacks have needed strong teammates to win Super Bowls. Hall of Famers John Elway and Dan Marino got close but fell short. When the Broncos added running back Terrell Davis and top receiving threats, Elway won two titles.
Elway’s situation mirrors Allen’s with the Bills. Allen is often seen as a one-man army. He has nearly led Buffalo to the Super Bowl, though Buffalo lost the AFC Championship to the Chiefs each time Allen reached that stage.
This comparison shows Allen needs his supporting cast to step up. Buffalo committed to players with elite potential, like running back James Cook, this offseason. The Bills also boast one of the league’s best pass-blocking lines. This season, Cook must become the force for Allen that Terrell Davis was for Elway.
Stepping Up to the Challenge
For the Bills and Allen to overcome past challenges, Buffalo’s receivers must reach new heights. Currently, Keon Coleman, Josh Palmer, and Khalil Shakir have chemistry with Allen. Ultimately, Allen’s growth depends on the play of those around him.
All things considered, Josh Allen may be the best quarterback in Bills history. While strong statistics and regular-season wins are impressive, they feel hollow without a Super Bowl victory. The pressure is on Allen and the offense to take Buffalo to not just another Super Bowl, but finally win their first championship.
Is this the Year Buffalo Breaks Through?
While the Bills have consistently made the playoffs during the Josh Allen era, they are still missing the ultimate prize. If Allen is capable of winning a Super Bowl, then this season is a golden opportunity. While many things will happen during the 2025 season, Allen needs to become the leader capable of guiding the Bills through their difficult times.
The challenge for Buffalo this season will be centered around the idea that they are not trying to prove that they belong in the playoffs. However, they need to demonstrate that they are the best team in the AFC, which means playing their best football against the top teams. That has always been a challenge for the Buffalo Bills franchise. During the 2025 season, the Bills are poised to elevate themselves to the top of the NFL, but starting next week, they will have to live up to those expectations on a weekly basis.
