The Buffalo Bills' 2025 season has been anything but predictable. One week they’re toppling MVP-caliber quarterbacks like Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, and most recently Joe Burrow in a snow-covered slugfest.
The next, they’re stumbling against the likes of Michael Penix and Davis Mills. It’s been a rollercoaster ride in Western New York-but after that gritty win over the Bengals, the Bills are very much alive in the playoff race.
And with the possibility of both the Chiefs and Ravens missing the postseason, the path to the Super Bowl might just be opening up.
Even WWE superstar Seth Rollins is buying in.
Appearing on Good Morning Football, Rollins made it clear: he’s riding with Josh Allen all the way to the Super Bowl. And honestly, it’s not a stretch. Despite the inconsistencies in Buffalo’s overall performance this year, Allen remains one of the most dangerous players in the league when the lights are brightest.
“They haven’t been the most efficient version of the Buffalo Bills,” Rollins admitted. “But Josh Allen is still Josh Allen.”
And that’s the key. Allen, the reigning MVP, might not be lighting up the stat sheet like he did last season, but he’s still completing 70 percent of his passes, has cleared the 3,000-yard mark, and continues to find the end zone both through the air and on the ground. When the game tightens up, when the moment demands greatness, Allen has proven time and again that he can rise to the occasion.
Rollins summed it up simply: “When crunch time comes, I want the ball in my best player’s hands. The best player in the league.”
He’s not wrong. The Bills have shown they can hang with the AFC’s elite-when they’re locked in.
And if they do sneak into the playoffs, they might find themselves in an AFC field that’s missing some familiar heavyweights. Mahomes and the Chiefs are in danger of missing the cut.
Lamar Jackson and the Ravens are teetering. Joe Burrow’s already out.
That leaves a potential playoff bracket that feels wide open.
The projected division winners as of now? Denver, New England, Jacksonville, and Pittsburgh.
That’s a group with plenty of question marks under center. The Broncos, Patriots, and Jaguars have quarterbacks with just one playoff win combined.
And the Steelers? They’re rolling with a 42-year-old Aaron Rodgers-who Buffalo handled with relative ease in a 26-7 win back in Week 13.
If you're the Bills, that’s the kind of playoff landscape you dream about.
There’s still work to do, of course. Buffalo has to finish strong and officially punch their ticket to the dance.
But if they do, they’ll enter the postseason battle-tested, led by a quarterback who’s proven he can carry the weight of a franchise on his back. Allen’s got the arm, the legs, the swagger-and now, perhaps, the clearest path he’s ever had to the Super Bowl.
The Bills haven’t always made it easy on themselves this season. But if they get in, they’re not just a team to watch-they’re a team to fear.
