The Buffalo Bills were viewed in the offseason as Super Bowl or bust in 2025.
With Josh Allen the MVP, and with several playoff failures in consecutive seasons, the buck had to stop eventually.
For most, that is this season.
So, as we approach the Bills' road game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, there is no doubt extra pressure on Buffalo after the previous failures to break through and not only win this game, but to go all the way.
But Josh Allen doesn't think that way.
"I don't think so," Allen said. "I think we're taking it one game at a time. We're not focused on what's happened in the past, and we're a completely different team than we were last year and the year before that.
"So, our job is to play the Jacksonville Jaguars at 1:00 on Sunday, and that's what we're going to do."

Bills are under huge playoff pressure
I get Allen saying what he did. You don't want to make this game any bigger than what it is.
But there is no denying that the Bills, out of all of the playoff teams this season, have the most pressure on their shoulders.
After being dumped out of the playoffs year after year, Buffalo has the best quarterback in the playoffs, and there aren't the ghosts of playoff past in Patrick Mahomes to stop them.
So, it does feel like now or never for Josh and Buffalo.
