Buffalo Bills face challenges in pursuit of Super Bowl appearance

Summary

The Buffalo Bills, with 73 wins since 2020, aim for their first Super Bowl appearance amid intense AFC competition. Offseason improvements, including adding DJ Moore and C.J. Gardner-Johnson, highlight their attempts to strengthen the roster. However, their run defense ranked among the worst last season, prompting a shift to a 3-4 defensive scheme led by new coordinator Jim Leonhard. The Bills have also struggled in recent playoff exits, losing three consecutive games by three points, raising questions about their late-game execution. The team must demonstrate an ability to consistently stop the run and compete with other top AFC teams this season.
