The Buffalo Bills keep winning the AFC East.

The Buffalo Bills didn’t make the playoffs for 17 seasons in the early 2000s and most of you reading this lived through every painful year. An even longer drought was winning the AFC East title. Buffalo won is six times in eight seasons from 1988 to 1995, but then didn’t win the division again until the year 2020, a span of 25 years.

The Bills have won every division title since 2020 to claim five straight division titles. If the Bills pull off what most of you seem likely and win a sixth straight AFC East championship, it will put them in rarified air in NFL annals.

Only six NFL teams have won six straight division titles in NFL history. Buffalo would be the seventh.

The longest division title streaks in NFL history​

Eleven straight NFL division titles​


The longest division-winning streak is familiar to Bills fans, as the New England Patriots won eleven straight titles from 2009 and 2019. It should probably be even longer. The 2008 Patriots went 11-5 despite losing Tom Brady in Week 1 and failed to qualify for the playoffs. If Brady doesn’t get hurt, there is a real chance the Patriots go from 2003 to 2019 without someone else winning the East.

Nine straight NFL division titles​


The Kansas City Chiefs are currently in the middle of a nine-season streak winning the AFC West. Their streak pre-dates Patrick Mahomes when Alex Smith still slung it in KC.

Seven straight NFL division titles​


The Los Angeles Rams of the 1970s won seven straight from 1973 to 1979. In a league where some divisions had five teams, the NFC West only had four for most of that run.

Six straight NFL division titles​


Three teams are tied with six straight division championships — a list Buffalo hopes to join in 2025. The 1950-55 Cleveland Browns, the 1973-1978 Minnesota Vikings, and the 1974-1979 Pittsburgh Steelers all share the number.

The Browns won the NFL American and NFL Eastern divisions in the early 1950s which featured six teams, making their streak the only one on the list with so may potential teams ready to strike.

The Vikings began their NFC Central run in 1973 with four total teams in the division, but finished with five after the expansion Tampa Bay Buccaneers joined in 1976.

The 1973 Steelers lost the division on a tiebreaker before rattling off their consecutive titles.

Division-winning dynasties usually means a Super Bowl trip​


Every team on the division-title dynasty list has at least gone to a league championship game.

The Patriots’ history of winning the big game is well-documented, and you’re familiar with the recent Chiefs dynasty. The 1950s Browns won three NFL Championships during their dynastic run and the ‘70s Steelers won four Super Bowls.

The 1979 Rams won the NFC Championship before falling to Pittsburgh in the Super Bowl. Both teams ended their division-title streaks the following season. The 1970s Vikings made it to three Super Bowls, but lost each one.

Should the Bills win the AFC East and again fail to qualify for the Super Bowl, it will be another dubious footnote.

Bills fans think Buffalo wins another division title in 2025​


Recently, fans voted in our NFL Reacts survey. A vast majority of Bills fans think Buffalo will do it again and join the list. In similar polls, 15% of Dolphins fans and 8% of Jets fans think they will come out on top.



It’s somewhat unfortunate for the Miami Dolphins and New York Jets. From 2003 to 2024, they only have one division title between the two of them. Miami plucked it in 2008. New York won the division in 2002, immediately preceding the Patriots’ long run. They have both won the same number of titles as the Indianapolis Colts over the last 25 seasons. Indy won the division in 1999 and left the AFC East in 2002.

Buffalo Bills to reveal alternate helmet in July, per source

An anonymous source with Buffalo Rumblings shares that the Bills will also have an alternate helmet in 2025.

The Buffalo Bills are still within the opening stages of their 2025 season — a campaign that will see the franchise put its finishing touches on its home stadium of the last 52 years. While the OG Highmark may be heading out to pasture, all the traditions, sights, sounds, uniforms, and more will live on in the new Highmark Stadium, just across the road.

It remains to be seen what the Bills have planned to properly say goodbye to “The Ralph” in 2025. But an inside, anonymous source with Buffalo Rumblings has reported that Buffalo is set to reveal a new alternate helmet on July 22.

What, exactly, we can expect hasn’t been shared for obvious reasons. For now all we can do is speculate whether One Bills Drive will roll out a new modern take on their current helmet, a redesigned throwback, or something else entirely. It’s believed this reveal isn’t related to the Nike-sponsored Rivalries series uniforms that the Bills are part of in 2025.

Team uniforms are always a hot topic with fans, especially Bills Mafia. It’s become an annual tradition for quarterback Josh Allen to emerge from the tunnel before the Return of the Blue and Red scrimmage wearing a one-off alternate helmet. Are any of those designs realistic options?

Whatever is revealed later this month adds a new wrinkle to what chief operating officer Pete Guelli explained this past March about the team’s uniforms in 2025. In a one-on-one interview with Bills sideline reporter Sal Capaccio, Guelli explained a bit about the thought process for this season’s uniform options:

“Sal: You just mentioned a very big word with our listeners: Uniforms. We get lots of questions about uniforms. You see teams going with third jerseys, alternate jerseys, throwbacks, the standing buffalo. I know you’ve been involved with this in the past with the Giants and back in your basketball days as well. Where do things stand right now with maybe some alterations or changes in what the Bills will wear?

Pete: I’ve been involved in a lot of uniform projects, and it doesn’t surprise me anymore how excited people get about that. So I think this final year at Highmark is more about optionality. There’s a couple of things, but we want to make sure, ‘What are the combinations that we want to wear?’ and when to strike the right tone with our fans. We are looking at some things relative to that first year, the opening of the stadium. Nothing I can disclose at that point, but I’m invested in the uniforms. It’s a huge important part of our brand. I know how much that resonates with our fans, so it’s something that we’re all focused on.”

Of note is the fact that the team’s current throwback uniforms (featuring the standing bison logo helmet) haven’t been used in several seasons — notably since the introduction of the red Color Rush uniform. Stay tuned, because, as per our anonymous source mentioned above, it sounds as though the Bills will at least have a new alternate or classic helmet for their final season at the incredible home that Ralph C. Wilson Jr. helped build.

Interestingly, The Bills Store just released the team’s new Throwback Collection for 2025 this week. What do you have to say, Rumbler — any particular combo, color, or logo you’re hoping is revealed?

Can Bills LB Edefuan Ulofoshio carve out a larger role in 2025?

Miami Dolphins v Buffalo Bills

Can the 2024 fifth-round pick carve out a larger role this season?

The Buffalo Bills run a nickel defense as their primary personnel grouping, meaning that there is both an increased focus on linebackers and a decreased focus on the position grouping at the same time. Sure, that sounds contradictory, but it means that Buffalo may not need as many linebackers as some teams, but if their linebackers aren’t good, it’s incredibly easy to notice.

Just because the Bills are only playing two linebackers at a time for most of their defensive snaps doesn’t mean that the team can skimp on quality depth. In the defensive system Buffalo runs, the linebackers have myriad responsibilities, and they have to cover a whole lot of ground.

In today’s installment of our “90 players in 90 days” series, we discuss a young linebacker vying for a larger role on the team this season.



Name: Edefuan Ulofoshio
Number: 48
Position: LB
Height/Weight: 6’1”, 239 pounds
Age: 25 (26 on 1/23/2026)
Experience/Draft: 2; selected by Buffalo in Round 5 (No. 160 overall) of the 2024 NFL Draft
College: Washington
Acquired: Fifth-round draft choice

Financial situation (per Spotrac): Ulofoshio enters the second year of his four-year rookie contract, which is worth $4,334,024 overall. For the 2025 season, Ulofoshio’s cap hit is $1,038,506 if he makes the 53-man roster, and the Bills will carry a dead-cap charge of $235,518 if he’s released.

2024 Recap: Ulofoshio made the 53-man roster as a rookie after a solid, if unspectacular, preseason performance. In three exhibition games, he totaled seven tackles, including one tackle for loss.

In the regular season, while he was on the 53-man roster, Ulofoshio was often the inactive linebacker on game days, as the Bills essentially used the 2024 season as a “redshirt” year. He made his NFL debut in Week 9 against the Miami Dolphins, playing exclusively on special teams.

He was inactive again until the final three games of the regular season, when he again played almost exclusively on special teams. I say “almost” because, in Buffalo’s 24-21 loss to the New England Patriots in what was a meaningless season finale, Ulofoshio started on defense and played every snap. In that game, he made five tackles, including one for a loss, and broke up a pass. He had one other tackle in the regular season, which came in Buffalo’s Week 17 win over the New York Jets.

While Ulofoshio was active for all three of Buffalo’s playoff contests, he only played on special teams and did not register a tackle.

Positional outlook: The Bills have just seven linebackers on the 90-man roster at the moment. Aside from Ulofoshio, Matt Milano, Terrel Bernard, Shaq Thompson, Joe Andreessen, Baylon Spector, and Dorian Williams are the others.

2025 Offseason: Ulofoshio is healthy and participating in offseason work.

2025 Season outlook: Buffalo’s linebacker situation is interesting, as they have a clear top three in Bernard, Milano, and Williams, and then an interesting mix of players vying for spots in the reserve ranks. Will Buffalo run it back with the same six players they rostered last season, or can Thompson, the veteran former Carolina Panthers player coming off two injury-plagued seasons, step in to provide extra depth?

For a team that generally plays only two linebackers at a time, it’s hard to imagine the Bills keeping all six players here, so at least one player has to go. I believe Andreessen is safe as the fourth linebacker/top special teams player, so it’s really a three-way race for one or two spots.

I’d be wary of keeping just five linebackers given the injury history of some of the participants involved. In any case, the Bills will likely keep five linebackers active on game day, so from a player’s perspective, you want to be in the top five so that you can earn the uniform on Sundays.

If I had to decide the roster, I’d be taking a long look at Thompson in hopes that he can replace one of the two reserve linebackers that Buffalo drafted. That player I’d like to replace isn’t Ulofoshio, though — it’s Spector. For me,

Ulofoshio is one of the last guys on the 53-man roster, and he’ll be fighting for he chance to be active on game days this season. I like his athleticism and his motor, and as we’ve seen with other recent additions at linebacker, with a year or two in the system, there is potential for big-time growth. Hopefully, Ulofoshio is the latest drafted Buffalo linebacker to take a step forward this season.

Best breakout candidates, new veteran impact players

Plus, key story lines to watch leading up to the start of training camp.

The expectations for the Buffalo Bills entering the 2025 NFL season are sky high, and rightfully so, as the Bills feature reigning NFL MVP Josh Allen, a high-flying offense that is one of the league’s best, and a revamped defense that general manager Brandon Beane hopes will help the Bills finally get past the Kansas City Chiefs and claim that elusive Super Bowl championship.

Buffalo Bills K Tyler Bass ready to pick up where he left off last season

NFL: AFC Championship-Buffalo Bills at Kansas City Chiefs

Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images

It was a great bounce-back year for Buffalo’s kicker

In the history of the Buffalo Bills, there are only four players ever to wear the number two. With apologies to infamous former quarterback Nathan Peterman, three of those four players have been good while wearing that number. Aside from Peterman, the other players also play the same position.

Dan Carpenter wore No. 2 for the Bills, and he was a solid kicker for the club for four seasons. Before him, it was Steve Christie who donned the number well from 1992-2000. Christie was one of the NFL’s best kickers at the time, and he’s rightly held in high regard with the Bills’ franchise.

The current No. 2 has done the number proud, as well, upholding the tradition of strong performance from the kicker spot. In today’s edition of “90 players in 90 days,” we discuss the kicker who’s number two in the program and number one on the depth chart.



Name: Tyler Bass
Number: 2
Position: K
Height/Weight: 5’10” 183 lbs.
Age: 28 (29 on 2/14/2026)
Experience/Draft: 6; selected by Buffalo in the sixth round (No. 188 overall) of the 2020 NFL Draft
College: Georgia Southern
Acquired: Sixth-round draft choice

Financial situation (per Spotrac): Bass enters the second year of a four-year, $20.4 million contract extension he signed in 2023. His cap hit for the 2025 season is $4.67 million. If he’s released, Buffalo will carry a dead-cap charge of $5.97 million.

2024 Recap: After a horrendous postseason that ended with him missing a potential game-tying field goal in a loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, there was some speculation about Bass’ job status heading into the 2024 season. When he missed three field goals and two extra points in the first six games, that speculation turned to flat-out worry in many corners.

However, Bass wouldn’t miss another field goal until Week 13 in a snow game against the San Francisco 49ers. He missed two extra points in that time frame, and both came in victories. He missed a PAT in a 30-21 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs while nailing his only field goal attempt. He also missed a PAT against the Miami Dolphins in a game that provided one of the more uplifting moments of the 2024 season. With just 11 seconds remaining in regulation, head coach Sean McDermott sent Bass on to kick a potential game-winning 61-yard field goal. Bass drilled it right down the middle to give the Bills a 30-27 victory.

He finished the regular season by making 24-of-29 field goals (83%) and 59-of-64 extra points (92%). In the postseason, Bass was perfect, hitting all six of his field goal attempts and all seven of his point-after attempts.

Positional outlook: Bass is a one-man show this summer, as there are no other kickers in camp.

2025 Offseason: Bass is healthy and participating in offseason work.

2025 Season outlook: Bass, like all of us, is human. He is going to struggle sometimes with mechanics, confidence, and focus. After going to some dark places early last season, watching him nail the game-winner against Miami was an incredible moment, as it clearly took a two-ton weight off of No. 2’s shoulders.

While the kicker’s job may “just” be to kick, that job comes with tremendous pressure. I try not to overlook that when I’m evaluating Bass’ performance — and yes, I know he’s a professional, but that doesn’t make him immune to all of the pitfalls of humanity.

With all of that said, it’s intriguing to me how Bass struggled so much with extra point attempts. Over the last few years, Bass has missed eight extra points. Five of those misses came last season. He has not missed an extra point in a postseason game since 2021, however. Given that Bass was a perfect seven-for-seven on his field goals of 30-39 yards last season, I assume that the issue with extra points was a mental one and not a physical one.

As much as we’d like Buffalo’s kicker to be perfect, we know that’s not really possible. If Bass can keep himself in a good place mentally, he’s one of the better kickers in the league, especially from long distance. However, it’s keeping himself in that good mental place that is easier said than done. Here’s hoping that Bass’ second half of the season (21-of-23 on field goals including playoff games; 48-of-51 on PATs including playoff games) is indicative of the 2025 season he’s going to have.

Is Bills Mafia expecting too much from WR Elijah Moore?

NFL: Buffalo Bills Minicamp

Gregory Fisher-Imagn Images

After the Buffalo Bills failed to make a significant investment at wide receiver during the 2025 NFL Draft, the team signed Elijah Moore to a one-year deal to join the club. Many fans remember Moore as a coveted prospect in the 2021 draft, where he was selected in the second round by the New York Jets.

Since the Bills signed Moore, and his subsequent performances at OTAs and mandatory minicamp, it’s felt like Bills Mafia (and some members of the media) have been incredibly high on Moore’s potential with Buffalo’s offense. This is understandable based on Moore’s production at Ole Miss, and the fact that he has played with some mediocre quarterbacks in his stints with the Jets and the Cleveland Browns.

As we get closer to training camp I wanted to get a sense if this was just me reading social media posts from the vocal minority — or if Bills Mafia are truly all in on Moore. I’ve run polls like this in the past, and very rarely am I surprised by the results. To be completely honest, I was a bit shocked that fans were so optimistic about Moore and the production they expect him to have this season.


Question for Bills fans on expectations for Elijah Moore. In 2024 he finished the season with 61 catches for 538 yards. What are your expectations for his statistical performance, compared to 2024, in the upcoming season. Feel free to elaborate in the replies. @BuffRumblings

— Anthony Marino (@AnthMarino) July 13, 2025

With 660 responses, over 90% of fans expect Moore to produce around the same, or better, than he did statistically in 2024. Less than 9% of respondents think that Moore will produce less than he did in 2024 — a campaign with 61 receptions and 538 yards. For context, those numbers would have placed Moore as the second-most-productive wide receiver on the club last season (only behind Khalil Shakir).

While I’m certainly excited about what Moore should bring to the Bills, I’m having a hard time sharing the optimism of those that participated in the poll. In the “everyone eats” era of the Bills, I’m not sure that there will be enough targets to go around for Moore to come close to his 2024 numbers.

Keon Coleman and Dalton Kincaid will both be expected to take a step forward this year, and Shakir could also be poised to increase his production. Curtis Samuel showed some flashes last season after returning from injury, and Beane made a significant investment in signing former Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Josh Palmer.

It will be interesting to see what role Moore plays on the offense in training camp, and how the competition plays out for spots on the depth chart. Based on these results, Moore will certainly be one of the top story lines at St. John Fisher University later this month.

Do you share in the optimism of the voters in this recent poll? or are your expectations a bit more tempered? Dive in with your fellow Rumblers in the comments section below!

Buffalo Bills DE lands on PUP list

NFL: Buffalo Bills Minicamp

Gregory Fisher-Imagn Images

With time to heal before the regular season begins, discussions will now to turn to how much on-field time the rookie misses.

The Buffalo Bills have placed rookie defensive end Landon Jackson on the “active-physically unable to perform [PUP] list,” per a report by Aaron Wilson. No further information was provided at the time of Wilson’s social media news brief.


#Bills place Landon Jackson on active-physically unable to perform list

— Aaron Wilson (@AaronWilson_NFL) July 15, 2025

Jackson landing on PUP likely means he was injured during mandatory minicamp or some other point thereafter at team facilities. While reports on new injuries are never preferred, the good news is that there’s plenty of time for Jackson to return to the field ahead of the regular season while relegated to active-PUP status.

Shortly after Wilson’s tweet, Matt Parrino shared one of his own that elaborated a bit further about the timeline. Per Parrino, “A league source tells me the team is hopeful he’ll be ready for the start of practice next week.”


Bills have placed DE Landon Jackson on the Active/PUP list one week out from the start of training camp, per league wire.

A league source tells me the team is hopeful he’ll be ready for the start of practice next week.

— Matt Parrino (@MattParrino) July 15, 2025

The Bills drafted Landon Jackson during Round 3 (72nd overall pick) of the 2025 NFL Draft. A tough well-rounded edge defender for Arkansas, Jackson was viewed as a textbook player for Buffalo’s defensive scheme given his size (6’6”, 264 pounds; 33 1/4” arms, 10” hands) and proficiency as a run defender with added value as an occasional pass rusher.

Bills Mafia voice uncertainty about Josh Allen’s receiving options in latest Buffalo Rumblings poll

AFC Championship Game: Buffalo Bills v Kansas City Chiefs

Photo by Todd Rosenberg/Getty Images

General manager Brandon Beane went to decent lengths in an effort to once again remake the Bills’ wide receiver room.

Late last week we asked readers of Buffalo Rumblings to weigh in with their thoughts about 1,000-yard pass-catching options for the Buffalo Bills in 2025. That is, among every realistic 53-man roster option at wide receiver, tight end (and, sure, even running back), which player (if any) stands the best chance at posting a 1,000-yard campaign?

Bills Mafia well-understands that even with everybody eating in the post-Stefon Diggs era, reigning NFL MVP Josh Allen has established favorite routes, targets, and situational go-to players. Last season, that was wide receiver Khalil Shakir — whose Velcro hands and pinball wizardry decimated defenses over the middle time and again. It’s true that Shakir operates similarly to an all-purpose featured running back in traffic, and that he served as Buffalo’s WR1 last season. But he only netted 861 yards through the air.

Too often, the Bills displayed a severe inability to meaningfully involve the other wide receivers on the team, with Mack Hollins taking on a bigger role than expected within a room that failed to separate from the pack.

Shakir is back of course, and with a handsome new contract. Hollins is gone, and — despite his penchant for drawing coverage at times — the Amari Cooper experiment joined another failed midseason swap of third-round picks for talented receivers (Kelvin Benjamin).

So our query was to see who among you felt that the likes of Shakir, Keon Coleman, Curtis Samuel, Joshua Palmer, Elijah Moore, or Dalton Kincaid harbor enough buzz and potential to serve as a bona fide 1,000-yard top receiving option.

Well, the results are in and it’s decidedly undecided. That’s right: Just 52% of Rumblings voters believe the team will post a 1,000-yard receiver of any sort in 2025. Perhaps it’s the family-style bowl of pasta keeping anyone from feasting too hard, or it’s possible that the Bills really need to prove they’ve made the right moves to add receivers capable of beating man coverage and getting open.

One might look to the roster of the Detroit Lions, where there are plenty of options for quarterback Jared Goff, yet wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown stands above everyone as the clear-cut WR1. It’s conceivable to say that everyone eats with the Lions, yet St. Brown still commands the biggest chunk.

Why couldn’t Shakir perform similarly to St. Brown? Perhaps we’ll dive into that in another article in the coming days.

Whatever the case may be, there’s plenty of doubt to go around early in July. One thing’s for certain, and that’s how important training camp snaps will be toward building chemistry and more for the regular season. That work may provide defining roles for individual players and influence their statistical odds in the regular season with FanDuel Sportsbook.

Stay tuned for this week’s survey, where we dig further into Buffalo’s offensive potential for 2025.

Many former Buffalo Bills released on cutdown day

gettyimages-2230970725.jpg


NFL cutdown day is one of the saddest days in the NFL season. Every team has to get their roster to 53 players ahead of the regular season, which kicks off next week. With most of the teams ending the preseason numbered between 80 and 90 players, that means a lot of releases happening all at once.

The Buffalo Bills sorted their roster plans out, which now includes a few former Bills returning home. Remember, general manager Brandon Beane is known to bring people back home to Buffalo if the price is right. So who’s out there still, ready to join Jordan Phillips and Jordan Poyer? Another Jordan, you say? Let’s take a quick look!



The Las Vegas Raiders cut former wide receiver Justin Shorter who was drafted by the Bills in the fifth round back in 2023. Offensive tackle Conor McDermott and defensive end Casey Toohill were both released by the Houston Texans.

It may have been short but Marquez Valdes-Scantling was on the Bills roster — and now he’s no longer on the Seattle Seahawks’ roster. One of Beane’s most controversial draft picks in Buffalo was defensive end Boogie Basham, and now Boogie is looking for another new team after being released by the Carolina Panthers on Tuesday.

A name that Bills fans heavily debated was wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins who, after getting let go by the Bills had a few bright spot for the New York Giants. Unfortunately however, that success wasn’t sustained and he was let go by the Giants before signing with the San Francisco 49ers. Now, he’s been released by the 49ers too.

Taking a trip down memory lane is thinking about wide receiver Robert Woods and the fire he brought to those Bills teams. Father time though is undefeated as the veteran didn’t make the final 53 for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Buffalo seems to be pretty set on tight ends for now but Jacksonville did cut Quintin Morris who was TE3 with the Bills in recent seasons.

Finishing up is safety Mike Edwards, whose time in Buffalo felt like it went by in the blink of an eye last season. He went back to the Kansas City Chiefs hoping to find success but was unable to secure a roster spot.
