Josh Allen-Led Buffalo Bills Face Key Offensive Challenges Ahead 2025

The Buffalo Bills enter the 2025 NFL season as strong Super Bowl contenders, led by reigning MVP quarterback Josh Allen and a revitalized supporting cast that includes new receivers Joshua Palmer, Elijah Moore, and the developing Keon Coleman. Despite their regular-season dominance and a high-powered offense that averaged over 30 points per game last year, concerns linger about the team’s ability to overcome their playoff hurdle against the Kansas City Chiefs, who have eliminated them multiple times in recent years. One major potential issue is the unresolved contract situation with running back James Cook, whose holdout could diminish offensive effectiveness, as he has been a key dual-threat contributor. Analysts also debate the impact of the Bills lacking a traditional No. 1 wide receiver, though recent success suggests the offense can thrive without one; the defense, however, remains a question mark despite offseason improvements including the addition of pass rusher Joey Bosa. Ultimately, while the Bills have the talent and coaching to be among the NFL’s elite, they must address these vulnerabilities to break through in the postseason and achieve their Super Bowl aspirations.
