Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills' hopes are destroyed, but the Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes aren't the best in the entire NFL

How to forgetJosh Allen in tears after seeing his latest season come to an end, once again in a game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Although the Buffalo Bills have been among the best teams (and still are), they have not achieved the organization's ultimate goal.

How to forgetJosh Allen in tears after seeing his latest season come to an end, once again in a game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Although the Buffalo Bills have been among the best teams (and still are), they have not achieved the organization's ultimate goal.

The good news for the Bills is that they are still considered among the best in the NFL, although the Chiefs remain above them in the next ranking, along with four other teams.

Four teams are better than the Bills, including the Chiefs

In 2024, Sean McDermott's team proved it is a force to be reckoned with, posting a 13-4 record and winning the AFC by a five-game margin. But in the end, once again, they fell to the Chiefs, Patrick Mahomes, and Travis Kelce in the AFC Championship game.

Now, a ranking by Austin Mock of The Athletic has revealed that they have one of the top five rosters in the NFL, attributed to their moves in free agency.

'The Bills have been one of the best teams in the AFC for several years, so it's no surprise to see them in the top 5. However, what do they need to finally dethrone the Chiefs, the team that has eliminated them in four of the last five postseasons? They could start by bolstering their defense. Signing Joey Bosa in free agency was a high-risk, high-reward gamble; he could perform at a high level... if he manages to stay healthy long enough. But even with this bet on Bosa, the Bills could still benefit from another pass rusher and more help in the secondary,' wrote Austin Mock.

Michael Hoecht and Larry Ogunjobi joined Bosa as the main defensive reinforcements, and key pieces like Christian Benford, Terrel Bernard, and Greg Rousseau were re-signed.

On offense, they improved by adding speed at the receiver position with Joshua Palmer, in addition to extending the contracts of two of their most important offensive players: Josh Allen and Khalil Shakir.

There's no doubt that this is a team built to reach the Super Bowl, although in this ranking, there are four other teams that surpass them: the Philadelphia Eagles, the Baltimore Ravens, the Detroit Lions, and the formidable Kansas City Chiefs.
