With the upcoming 2022 season in September, Buffalo Bills are one of the heavy favorites to win this season's playoffs. Despite the championship drought and losses from the past years, the team has made moves that made fans believe in their roster to contend for the Super Bowl one more time with high hopes of winning.
However, some questions arise if the franchise can pull off their championship run this 2022 with the recent team and players' performances and changes this season. Even Though they are the favorites to win the upcoming playoffs, it's still anyone's game. So, how can the Bills seal this favor on their side? Let's find out.
Josh Allen
The first key to their championship is their young quarterback Josh Allen. The Buffalo Bills drafted him in 2018, where he showcased his unique style of play in the field, making phenomenal plays in his rookie season.Although Josh Allen was still an unknown factor for the franchise then, he has slowly proven his worth by improving his game from the past season, making him a favorable player to win this year's MVP award.
With the team's strong record last season of 13 wins and three losses, they were set to have the best NFL Super Bowl odds. Unfortunately, they fell short at the hands of the Kansas City Chief, upsetting the franchise and Josh Allen's almost perfect season.
Despite the loss, Josh Allen has continued to work his way through, making smarter decisions and increasing his accuracy in the field. If this goes well with the upcoming season, Buffalo Bills will surely get their victory on the big stage.
Defensive Impact
Last season, Buffalo Bills had the best defense, recording the number one scoring defense, making it a franchise history. By allowing 17.0 points per game and 272.7 yards, their defense significantly led to their best record in the last season.Currently, the franchise is slowly backing up their defense by adding to the roster Von Miller by signing a six-year contract for the franchise making their run defense stronger. In addition, they added Tre'Davious White as a cornerback for the Bills, another key to winning the Super Bowl. With these additional key players, Buffalo's defensive line is becoming a threat to other teams.
Slowly Filling Gaps
There is no denying that the franchise is full of talents to make the championship dream come true. But there are still holes in their rosters, making the team questionable to be contending for a title. If you're wondering what these holes are with their offensive line, most of the included players in the roster do show potential, but it seems insufficient.However, with the recent moves and changes made by the franchise, they hired Aaron Kromer once again as the offensive line coach. Kromer is considered one of the best and most genuine coaches in the league and will surely bring the Bills' offense into shape, leading to their Super Bowl victory.
The 2021 playoffs were a heartbreaking moment for their time. Despite being crowned the best defensive team in the season, they could not push through as confusion took over the team. Thus, leading the Bulls and their fans to go home with tears.
In addition, with their loss to the Kansas Chief, the team has filled their problems in defense by adding new notable players that can help them defend more consistently in the field.
Backfield Offense
During the last season, the Buffalo Bill's offense, known for a dynamic aerial attack, has led the team to an impressive season in the league. This offense led the team to win many games in the season and became their arsenal for offense, either leading for points or touchdowns.However, issues arose as turnovers were overwhelmed with the pass interceptions putting the team at a disadvantage in most of their games. However, the offense was not enough during the last season; some improvements individually by the players and roster can also be factors in securing their spot in winning the Super Bowl.
Injuries
With the Buffalo Bills on the journey to their Super Bowl run with an exciting and impressive roster, some fans and experts would say that they are still fragile.Health is a huge factor in any sports organization. Considering the recent changes in rosters for the Bills, most players will return from specific injuries, such as Tre'Davious White with his torn ACL. As long as the Bills can maintain their health, especially their key players for this season, their opportunity for a Super Bowl will remain open.
