1.) The Bills lose in the divisional round for the third consecutive season

The Bills’ season ends in yet another disappointing finish after a strong end to the regular season. Buffalo has now lost in the divisional round for the third consecutive season (twice to the Chiefs). It seems as if this is their new kryptonite and cannot get over that hump.

They have yet to get back to the conference championship since 2021. Not to mention, they lost yet another heartbreaker in this round against the Chiefs after Tyler Bass missed a game-tying field goal with under two minutes left. 

There could be a lot of conversations going on in the offseason from the coaching staff and into the roster. Whether you believe that only a little bit needs to change, or a lot needs to change, there has to be something that happens to improve going into next season.

Buffalo has established themselves as a team that will remain in the conversation as a contender, but should not be considered a Super Bowl favorite anymore.
