Make no mistake about it, the Buffalo Bills and Josh Allen are running out of time to get that elusive Super Bowl win.
Having been around the rim for the past handful of seasons, the Bills only have two AFC Championship appearances to show for Allen's time as a starter...and both were lost.
A common theme has been the Kansas City Chiefs, who have ended Buffalo's season on four consecutive occasions, which leaves many wondering when the Bills will finally slay their bogeyman.
But after a positive offseason that saw Allen acquire more weapons and a defense that feels overhauled with new pass rushers and corners, this is starting to feel like Buffalo's year.
And for Fox Sports' Ben Arthur, in using one word to describe Buffalo's offseason, he landed on "vital."
"Losers of four straight playoff games to the Chiefs, the Bills must figure out how to get over the hump to reach a Super Bowl," Arthur writes. "The pressure in Buffalo has ramped up with Josh Allen, in his prime, coming off an MVP season."
Yes, this feels like Buffalo's best chance at Super Bowl glory, but with that comes a pressure Allen and head coach Sean McDermott haven't had yet.
There is an expectation now, with Allen the defending MVP winner, most of his weapons have returned, so too his offensive line, with the only bugaboo being James Cook and his contract situation.
Get that sorted, and the Bills are off to the races.
But this is a race that in 2025, they are under more pressure than ever to win.
Can they do it?
