The Buffalo Bills have had an impressive season, finishing 2024 with 30.9 points per game, second in the league, and breaking multiple franchise records including total points (525) and touchdowns (65). Key to this success was their offensive line, which allowed a league-low 14 sacks, notably featuring left tackle Dion Dawkins and right tackle Spencer Brown, who earned a four-year, $72 million extension just before the season. Brown's standout performance included an 83.5 PFF grade during playoffs, landing him among the top tackles in the league.

The NFL offseason is in full swing, with teams focusing on vital salary cap and contract decisions following the Philadelphia Eagles' victory over the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX. Key dates are approaching that will impact team rosters and financial structures, including the waiver system and the start of the free agency period. Players like Spencer Brown and Dawson Knox are among those whose contracts are under scrutiny as teams navigate restructuring and potential cuts.

Feb. 10 marked the first day of the waiver system for the 2025 season, allowing teams to claim contracts of players with less than four years of service. Crucial contract guarantees will activate on Feb. 14, affecting Seahawks and Eagles players. As the league year progresses, teams must decide which players to retain or release, setting the stage for free agency negotiations starting on March 10.

PFF grades for the divisional-round playoff games have been released, showcasing standout performances. Kansas City Chiefs' tight end Travis Kelce shined, earning a PFF receiving grade of 90.9 with 117 yards and a touchdown against the Houston Texans. Washington Commanders' cornerback Mike Sainristil impressed with a 74.0 coverage grade, making two interceptions. Philadelphia Eagles' defensive lineman Jalen Carter received a PFF grade of 90.4 for his dominant play, including two sacks. Lastly, Buffalo Bills' right tackle Spencer Brown achieved a solid 74.7 grade in a close victory over the Baltimore Ravens.

PFF's Team of the Week highlights standout performances, focusing on players who excelled in both grades and snap counts. The selections reflect a blend of efficiency and endurance, showcasing the best in each position.

Leading the offense is Lamar Jackson of the Baltimore Ravens at QB, alongside standout players like Derrick Henry and rookie sensation Ladd McConkey of the Los Angeles Chargers, who earned Offensive Player and Rookie of the Week honors for their impressive contributions. Defensively, the lineup features notable talents such as Derek Stingley Jr. from the Houston Texans, who excelled with two interceptions in a critical game.

The Pro Bowl selection process for 2025 has come under fire as only two Buffalo Bills players, quarterback Josh Allen and left tackle Dion Dawkins, were named starters despite the team's potential for 14 wins. This has led to discussions about the players who were snubbed, with cornerback Christian Benford topping the list. Benford's impressive performance this season, allowing just 0.7 yards per coverage snap, highlights his deserving candidacy for the Pro Bowl.

Running back James Cook, who leads the NFL in total touchdowns, is also seen as a strong candidate. His explosive play has been vital for the Bills' offense, and he is on the verge of tying the franchise record for rushing touchdowns. Meanwhile, right tackle Spencer Brown, despite being a fifth alternate, has received praise for his solid play and recent contract extension, reflecting his growing recognition within the team.
