Buffalo, NY – September 2, 2025

Buffalo entered the 2024 season surrounded by doubt. Stefon Diggs was gone, key starters were injured, and critics whispered that the “same old Bills” would collapse under pressure. But Sean McDermott and Josh Allen turned those doubts into fuel — and delivered one of the most dominant campaigns in franchise history.

The Bills finished 13–4, claiming their fifth straight AFC East crown, the longest divisional streak in team history, surpassing the glory run of 1988–1991. Along the way, they slayed giants: in Week 11, Buffalo stunned the Kansas City Chiefs 30–21, snapping their 15-game winning streak in front of 31.2 million viewers, the most-watched regular-season game of 2024. Just two weeks later, the Bills dismantled the San Francisco 49ers 35–10, clinching their sixth consecutive playoff berth and confirming they were still the AFC’s storm. Their only major stumble came in Week 4, a sobering 35–10 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, one of just four defeats all year.

In the postseason, McDermott’s mantra “Everybody Eats” defined the Bills’ identity. Thirteen different players scored touchdowns across the season, proof of a roster built on sharing the load. The playoffs showcased Buffalo’s grit: they crushed the Denver Broncos 31–7 in the Wild Card, then avenged their earlier loss by edging the Ravens 27–25 in the Divisional Round. But destiny dealt another cruel blow in the AFC Championship, where the Bills fell 32–29 to Kansas City, once again stopped just short of the Super Bowl.

Yet the season was not defined by heartbreak alone. The 2024 Bills proved they could thrive without their biggest star, rally through injuries, and push past the weight of expectations. They embodied Buffalo’s spirit: toughness, unity, and belief in one another.

And when the dust settled, Sean McDermott’s words rang louder than the defeat itself:

“I don’t care about the past – we’re ready to flip the script.”

It wasn’t a soundbite — it was a vow. Buffalo’s story isn’t over. The Bills Mafia still believes. And their fight for the Lombardi burns hotter than ever.

Bears Could Get Huge Boost to Pass Rush for ‘MNF’ vs. Commanders
Bears defensive end Austin Booker could return in Week 6. The Chicago Bears could receive a significant boost to their pass rush when they take on the Washington Commanders for Monday Night Football in Week 6. The Bears are now eligible to designate second-year defensive end Austin Booker for return from the injured reserve list after he missed the first four games of the season. Booker had shone in the preseason and seemed the likely choice to serve as the Bears‘ top rotational pass rusher behind veterans Montez Sweat and Dayo Odeyingbo coming into the 2025 season, but he suffered a knee injury in August that forced the team to place him on the short-term injured reserve list after the 53-man roster cutdown.

Do You Do It?   Brain Defender Dementia & Memory Loss Have Been Linked To This Habit. You Do It?   Brain Journal While the Bears have not laid out an expected return timeline for Booker, they will have the option of designating him for return to practice in Week 6 if they feel he has made enough progress in his injury recovery. Once the Bears designate him for return, they will have 21 days to activate him to the roster or else must leave him on IR for the year. The Bears could provide clues to Booker’s status when they hold their first practice of the week on Wednesday and issue their first injury report for Sunday’s prime-time date with the Commanders. They would need to activate Booker by Saturday afternoon at the latest for him to have a chance of suiting up for them on Monday Night Football. The Bears (2-2) will take on the Commanders (3-2) at 8:15 p.m. ET next Monday.
