Is It Super Bowl WIN or Bust for the 2026 Bills?

The Buffalo Bills may have relinquished the top spot in the AFC East last season for the first time since 2018, but they were still right there at the very end. If not for five turnovers against the Denver Broncos in the Divisional Round, they very well could have been the team from this division that advanced to the Super Bowl. Yet they found themselves where they always have in the Josh Allen era: asking themselves how they came up short once again? How do they finally find a way to not be asking that question this year? Robert Mays, Derrik Klassen and Dave Helman preview the 2026 Bills on this episode of The Athletic Football Show.
