Stunning pass mark for Joe Brady’s Bills in 2026 revealed<\/a> originally appeared on The Sporting News<\/a>. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Joe Brady, in his first time in a head coaching role, takes over a Buffalo Bills<\/a> team built to win now.<\/p>\n

In a completely different situation that most head coaches find themselves in, Brady won’t have a grace period in Buffalo. He needs wins, and he needs them now.<\/p>\n

Sean McDermott was fired because of the playoff failures, which means Brady has to, at the very least, make the playoffs and win a game or two. If not more.<\/p>\n

That is tough for a first-time head coach.<\/p>\n

And Bleacher Report’s Gary Davenport, his expectation is that Brady leads the Bills to a 12-5 record.<\/p>\n

“Brady offers a measure of continuity to a team that was hardly floundering\u2014the Bills won 12 games in 2025,” Davenport wrote<\/a>. “Buffalo endeavored to give Allen the “go-to” wideout the team badly needed with a trade for D.J. Moore. Buffalo also tried to bolster the pass rush with the addition of edge-rusher Bradley Chubb.<\/p>\n

“But there also isn’t a first-year head coach in the league under more pressure than Brady. The expectation for the Bills is a trip to SoFi Stadium in February to play in Super Bowl LXI. The inability to meet that expectation is why McDermott got the boot.”<\/p>\n

Brady under huge pressure in Year 1<\/p>\n

In truth, Joe likely already knew that when he applied for the job.<\/p>\n

Having had a front-row seat to multiple playoff failures as an offensive coordinator, Brady knows what is expected of him and his team in 2026.<\/p>\n

And it isn’t just to make the playoffs. It’s to win it all.<\/p>\n

That is a tall order, even when you have Josh Allen in his prime. After all, McDermott did and still couldn’t get over the playoff hump.<\/p>\n

Will Brady? We get the sense that over the next handful of years, if he wants to keep his job, he’ll have to.<\/p>\n
