OUTLOOK FOR 2024 - After finishing fourth overall in the NFL in total offense last year, the Bills will be in transition with two new wideouts for the passing game after Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis departed this off-season. Quarterback Josh Allen is one the best in the NFL and he will have new faces on hand along with tight end Dalton Kincaid, who had 73 receptions a year ago. Wide receiver Curtis Samuel comes over from Washington and will be a big factor for the passing game.
James Cook leads the running game and Allen will also take off and get some yardage with his legs as well as the team ranked in the top ten in both areas. The Bills put up 26.5 points per game last season and will have to be able to equal that if they want to win another AFC East title. Both Miami and the New York Jets are getting big time hype to take down the Bills this time around. Buffalo averaged 375 yards per game last year and Allen will look to keep the team on a steady track to continue the winning this year.
The Buffalo defense took a hit last year when linebacker Matt Milano was injured, so getting him back healthy is a big time gain and edge rusher Von Miller will look to team with tackle Ed Oliver to cause chaos up front. The defense ranked ninth last year, allowing 307 YPG while also getting 18 interceptions and amassing 54 sacks. Opponents averaged 18.3 PPG against the Bills defense.
The Bills should be right there in early January and Head Coach Sean McDermott will be looking for his team to make more noise in the playoffs as they narrowly missed getting to the AFC Championship Game a year ago. If the Bills are to make a deep push in January, they will have to figure out a way to beat Kansas City, which has been their nemesis the last few seasons.
