The first three weeks of the Buffalo Bills season started out with three straight wins; however, Week 4 was a big opportunity that slipped away when the Bills lost a close divisional game at home to the New England Patriots. However, the Bills got back on track in Week 5 with a big-time under-the-lights win against the
There were signs from Week 1 against the Houston Texans on the road, along with Week 3 against the Los Angeles Chargers at home, and last Sunday's game at home against the New England Patriots that showed the team needed to work on some specific issues.
One big problem Bills need to address now
Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills need to start converting more two-point conversions, especially as it becomes a growing analytical trend in the modern-day NFL. Allen is usually one of the NFL's best at stopping on a one-yard Tush push, but he seems to struggle on two-point conversions.
Of his seven rushing touchdowns, four came from the one-yard line, and he only has 2 from 2 yards out. As a team, the Bills are only 2-for-11 on two-point conversions, totaling a very low 18% success rate. For a high-scoring offense that succeeds on one-yard Tush push plays, it's baffling to see them struggle when going for 2.
With another chance against the New England Patriots to prove the doubters wrong and potentially go up 28-21 late in the fourth quarter, Allen tried to fit his two-point pass into a tight window to wide receiver Joshua Palmer into the back of the end zone. On the other side, Dalton Kincaid was wide open, but Allen focused solely on Palmer and never threw it to Kincaid for the score.
Instead of the Patriots' touchdown tying the game, they scored to take the lead, 27-26, and successfully converted their own two-point conversion to eventually win 29-26.
Success rate among all 32 teams
Last season, the Bills were the fifth-worst team in the league with a successful two-point try rate.
The league success rate in 2025 was only 46%, but it's concerning that the Bills still converted at only 22.2%. The comical stat is that after they botched their latest two-point try against the Pats, their 2-for-11 conversion rate has been that bad since September, and their latest successful try came when former reserve quarterback Mitchell Trubisky made it against the New York Jets in Week 18 last season.
Bills must use more goal line weapons
The team must get their act together, because who knows when they might have to attempt another two-point conversion some time down the road or in the playoffs. Even though they managed to convert a two-point ocnversion against the Rams with a Josh Allen-Dalton Kincaid connection, their success rate is extremely low.
To fix their two-point-play issue, they'll need to focus on adding red-zone versatility with players like Keon Coleman and Kincaid. Also, using their trusted quarterback, with his outstanding arm and leg power, wouldn't hurt either.
Now that the team realizes it has a problem, it's time to fix it. With points being a premium in the NFL, no team wants to lose a game by missing a two-point conversion.
