Head coach Sean McDermott of the Buffalo Bills
This is perhaps the statistic that provides the single most important correlation with success in the history of the Buffalo Bills organization.
Some no-nonsense analysts over at CBS Sports made a ground-breaking discovery during the Bills’ matchup with the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.
But I warn you, you may want to sit down for this.
So far in 2025, the Buffalo Bills are 8-1 when head coach Sean McDermott does not wear glasses.
Conversely, the team is a measly 3-3 when the head coach does.
Think back to the Bills’ last loss on November 20th to the Houston Texans.
Anything stand out to you?
Glasses.
He has not worn glasses in each of the Bills’ last four games, making him, perhaps, the only person Buffalo has to thank for the Bills’ push for the AFC’s first seed.
We are not sure what sort of magic his glasses hold, but one thing is for sure. If you see Coach McDermott on the opposing sideline without his glasses, you’d better bring your A-game.
Josh Allen Continues Quietly Uncharacteristic Season
Josh Allen is the best healthy quarterback in the NFL. The reigning MVP has piloted his team to a four-game win streak after dropping two out of three in mid-November.
However, during this four-game win streak, Allen is throwing for just 174 yards per game.
In three out of the four games, Allen has failed to break the 200-yard threshold.
He is playing complimentary football, doing what it takes to win the game, but rarely doing much more.
In Sunday’s narrow 23-20 road sweat, Allen completed just 12 passes. He totaled just 130 yards through the air and added only 17 yards on the ground on seven carries.
He accounted for zero touchdowns for just the third time this season.
Compared to rookie fifth-round pick Shedeur Sanders, he was outdueled.
The first year gunslinger threw for 151 yards and a touchdown, and even outrushed the MVP with 49 yards on four carries.
It’s hard to fault the quarterback who has led his team to a month straight of winning football; however, statistically, Allen is not lighting the world on fire.
