Josh Allen

The first player on this list is pretty obvious as the Buffalo Bills will only go as far as Josh Allen is able to take them. General manager Brandon Beane has done a good job of building an offense around Allen that gives him plenty of playmakers to work with.

However, the critical piece to all of this is the franchise quarterback.

Last year, Josh Allen set a number of single season franchise records like most passing yards in a season (4,544) and passing touchdowns (37). He would finish the year as the runner up in the MVP race while also being named to his first Pro Bowl.

Earlier in Josh Allen’s career, the Buffalo Bills were winning games on the strength of their defense. However, the defense didn’t play at that same level last year and it remains to be seen if they will improve in 2021.

There is no question that the Buffalo Bills hopes of a trip to a Super Bowl ultimately lie on Josh Allen and what he can do this season.
