Another year, another heartbreaking loss for the Buffalo Bills by the same monster, the Kansas City Chiefs. Even though all of the focus is going to be on this pathetic outing by the Bills, they overall overachieved this season considering what they had coming into this year. It’s no secret that they lost a lot of pieces on both sides of the ball. That didn’t seem to matter though.
A lot of players stepped up in big moments and it ultimately led the Bills to dominating the AFC East once again and took them far into the playoffs. Unfortunately, the ending result is what it has been the last couple of playoffs.
Buffalo now heads into the offseason rather than prepare for the Super Bowl. It’s getting very hard to think that the Bills have a shot at making the Super Bowl as long as Patrick Mahomes is in the AFC…however, there’s always next year, right?
The 2025 offseason for the Bills will be an interesting one. They certainly won’t go through their cap casualties like they did last year. However, this team could look a lot different going into next season. These are the dates that Bills fans need to know about heading into the offseason.
