The Buffalo Bills are hitting form at the right time, and with the playoffs so close to being clinched, Sean McDermott's team might not get a better chance at ending the Super Bowl drought.

With Patrick Mahomes and Joe Burrow already out of playoff contention, you can make the case that Josh Allen will have perhaps his "easiest" battles against quarterbacks in the playoffs he's ever had.

Granted, there are star defenses he'll have to go up against, but as far as the top-tier quarterback, Allen is No. 1 in the conference right now.

And for ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, this might be Buffalo's best chance at claiming that elusive Super Bowl.

"Buffalo's time might be now, even if Allen must will a Super Bowl berth into existence with heroic weekly outputs," Fowler writes. "Buffalo's supporting cast is good but not great."

Bills facing huge three weeks

With their playoff spot not yet secured, and the AFC East still within its grasp, the next three weeks could be pivotal for the Bills.

With the Cleveland Browns up first, and their stout defense, the Bills will have a tough time of it on the road, before the Philadelphia Eagles at home, and the New York Jets to finish, Buffalo can either solidify its stance within the AFC Super Bowl pecking order, or it can fall into the chasing pack.

There was a thought in the offseason that the Bills had to at least make the Super Bowl this season, given the offense had the MVP and the defensive additions, and there have been a few wobbles, but now the Bills appear to be hitting their stride.

Is Buffalo's Super Bowl time now? It sure feels like it.
