The Buffalo Bills had reached the 2025 NFL season with expectations of becoming the Super Bowl champions, yet their title journey is facing turbulence. Buffalo has lost two consecutive matches leading to their bye week with the most recent being their defeat by the Atlanta Falcons 24-14 on Monday night.
NFL MVP Joshua Allen was unable to get the flow going, and only made 15 of 26 passes, getting 180 yards and two TDs, but also two interceptions that cost him a lot. It will gnash me the two weeks to come, Allen thought, and I regret it. “A lot of stuff to clean up.”
The Bills started the season as the league only undefeated team but back to back primetime losses, first to the New England Patriots and now against Atlanta, have uncovered faults throughout the roster. Buffalo has a bad record of 4-2, which is hiding disturbing data: The 4-2 wins have been over teams with a 3-21 record, whereas the 0-2 losses have been over teams with winning records.
Sean McDermott, the head coach, admitted that it was work to be done. The thing is we have to figure out, he said. It is necessary to commit to what we are doing, to ensure that we have the right people at the right place and then perform. We are forced to begin at the bottom of the world and climb back up.
Performance in the field is not the only thing to worry about. Analysts and fans are already on whether the Bills require improvements in their rosters, top-level wide receiver or defense consolidation.
History indicates that Buffalo will resume. They overcame a two-game slump last season to become champions in the AFC East and their fifth consecutive champion, only to lose the Super Bowl.
When they resume their games after the bye against Carolina on October 26, the Bills will strive to make sure they do not lose three consecutive games as they had done since the beginning of the rookie season when Allen was the star. We will target our next opponent and proceeds with that, said Allen. It is time to go to the film room, and not repeat the same mistakes.
