The Buffalo Bills have captured the AFC East division in five consecutive campaigns. The New York Jets are in rebuild mode. The Jets have catch-up to do before legitimately posing a threat to the Bills’ recent division dominance.
Continuity and personnel has helped establish the Bills as one of the league’s most consistent performers. Any development that could potentially weaken the Bills would help the Jets. Pro Football Focus is projecting that Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady could get a head coaching job next offseason.
“During the last head-coaching cycle, he [Joe Brady] interviewed with the Bears, Saints and Jaguars — and for good reason,” Trevor Sikkema wrote. “Since taking over as Buffalo’s playcaller after Ken Dorsey’s firing in mid-November 2023, the Bills have posted the NFL’s highest EPA per pass (0.228) and the second-highest EPA per rush (0.089). With Josh Allen locked in, an intact offensive line and a potentially upgraded receiver room, Brady’s offense is primed to keep rolling, and his stock as a future head coach has never been higher.”
Bills quarterback Josh Allen reached new heights under Brady’s expert play-calling last season, capturing his first MVP honor. Brady once coached Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase at LSU to greatness, going undefeated and winning a National Championship. After a lackluster stint under Matt Rhule with the Carolina Panthers, he’s rehabilitating his reputation in Buffalo.
