Josh Allen faces challenges in reaching 4,000 passing yards for the fifth straight season, but the Buffalo Bills are thriving with a strong running game led by James Cook. In a recent win over the New England Patriots, Cook's 46-yard touchdown helped the Bills overcome a slow start.

Coach Sean McDermott's strategic changes have bolstered the offense, allowing for a balanced attack that eases pressure on Allen. However, concerns linger over a struggling defense and special teams mistakes as the playoffs approach.
