The Buffalo Bills ranked in an ideal position on one list no one wants the team to be on.
NFL.com ranked 12 teams in the league without a Super Bowl title and how likely it could be they win their first one next season.
Heading into 2026, the Bills are once again considered one of football’s best teams with quarterback Josh Allen leading the way. That is reflected here.
NFL.com ranked Buffalo as the league’s team most likely to win their first Super Bowl in the coming season. The Bills edged out the Detroit Lions for the top spot.
NFL.com’s breakdown on the Bills can be found below:
The Bills rank first here because of Josh Allen. Buffalo has won at least one playoff game for six straight years, and Allen has an 8-7 record in the postseason, but the Bills have not reached a Super Bowl since the 1990s. With Allen, they’re in the race nearly every year, though they failed to take advantage of a perceived weak AFC field last season.
Have the Bills improved their defense enough? It might not be a one-year fix. That’s where the majority of Buffalo’s questions lie, although it remains to be seen if the additions the organization made at wide receiver will be upgrades. The division also appears more competitive a year after the Patriots made a surprise run to the top.
Whether the Bills can finally break through or not is unknown, but this appears to be the best-equipped team on the list to make that happen in the short term.
