Buffalo Bills look to end Super Bowl drought in 2025 but Kansas City Chiefs remain key threat

The 2025 NFL season brings a familiar goal for the Buffalo Bills: to win the Super Bowl. What’s different this time? Expectations. More NFL analysts and fans than ever believe this is the year quarterback Josh Allen and the Bills break through.

Buffalo has been a regular-season powerhouse for half a decade, but when it comes to postseason glory, the path has always hit the same wall–the Kansas City Chiefs. To finally reach Super Bowl LX, the Bills will likely need to do something they have failed to do under Josh Allen’s leadership: knock out quarterback Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs when it matters most.

The Buffalo Bills dominate the AFC East, but the NFL playoffs are a different story altogether

The Buffalo Bills’ dominance in the regular season is undeniable.

The team has won five straight AFC East titles, but postseason heartbreak has followed, usually at the hands of the defending Super Bowl champions.“Since 2020, the Buffalo Bills have dominated the AFC East, winning five consecutive division titles with at least 11 wins in each season,” Bleacher Report’s Moe Moton noted. “You can count on the Bills to take home another division title, but their biggest test is a playoff matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs,” he added.

The Buffalo Bills have become a mainstay near the top of the league, often ranked just behind the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs in power rankings. But it won’t matter if they can’t win in the playoffs.

The Buffalo Bills have the talent, but the Kansas City Chiefs are still in the way

Roster-wise, Buffalo checks most of the boxes for a Super Bowl contender. The Buffalo Bills still rely on Josh Allen’s big arm and mobility, and they made offseason moves to improve the roster. “The Bills have a Super Bowl-ready roster,” Moton writes, “but they may have to conquer their conference nemesis in the Kansas City Chiefs at some point in the playoffs to compete in Super Bowl LX.”Despite some critics suggesting the Kansas City Chiefs may slow down, Patrick Mahomes and company always seem to find a way to turn it around. A Bills-Chiefs showdown in the postseason feels almost inevitable–and if history is anything to go by, it will come with massive stakes.

Can the Buffalo Bills finally flip the script in 2025?

Every season brings fresh hope for Buffalo’s long-suffering fan base, and 2025 feels particularly ripe for a breakthrough. “Buffalo isn’t overrated or underrated. It’s a top-three team behind the Philadelphia Eagles and the Chiefs,” Moton added.So, is this finally the season when the Bills send the Kansas City Chiefs packing in January? If so, it might just be the key to punching their long-awaited ticket to the big game.Also Read: Washington Commanders to Washington Redskins?
