The Buffalo Bills were better than the Dallas Cowboys and Chicago Bears this season.
In recent years, Josh Allen’s team has topped everyone from the Las Vegas Raiders and Cleveland Browns to the Green Bay Packers.
But Buffalo has been shadowed by the Kansas City Chiefs ever since Patrick Mahomes began his AFC Championship run in 2018.
On Sunday, Josh Allen fell to 0-4 vs Mahomes and the Chiefs when it matters — in the playoffs.
Throw in the facts that Buffalo is 0-4 in the Super Bowl — which includes four consecutive losses — and the Bills haven’t been back to the big game since 1993, and some are beginning to wonder if Buffalo has an even bigger problem.
“I think it’s the most haunted organization and might be the most haunted player in the history of the NFL,” ESPN’s Dan Orlovsky said.
“Four straight Super Bowl losses 30-plus years ago. And now four straight losses to Patrick Mahomes when your quarterback plays just as good.”
Jim Kelly, who led the Bills in the 1980s and ’90s, is far more haunted than Allen.
But there’s no doubt that Buffalo has a serious Chiefs problem in 2025, and stats back up the looming concern.
The Bills have won 78 combined regular and playoff games since 2019.
That’s the most in NFL history in a six-year span without a Super Bowl appearance.
Buffalo can have an MVP candidate at quarterback and put up 29 points in the AFC Championship.

The Chiefs have Mahomes, and they scored 32 on Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium to return to the Super Bowl.
“He’s (Allen) playing at the wrong time, same for Lamar (Jackson),” one fan tweeted.
“Because when they play the Chiefs, they turn into the guy asking a girl out on a date for the first time,” a second fan wrote. “Never seen such a nervous and tightly wound Bills team since last time these two played.”
“I can’t imagine being a Buffalo fan and Josh Allen,” a third fan posted. “He’s a continuous MVP candidate in his prime and he and the team just can’t get over the hump because of the Chiefs.
“It’s very possible they’d have already won a Super Bowl if they could just get there. Although don’t say that to older Bills fans. They still have PTSD from four in a row.”
The Bills have made the playoffs six consecutive years, including two AFC Championship appearances.
Despite Allen rivaling Jackson as league MVP, Buffalo’s season is done and the Chiefs will keep haunting the Bills all offseason — again.
Still, Allen doesn’t have it as bad as previous NFL QBs.
“Fran Tarkenton lost three Super Bowls in four years, and Jim Kelly lost four in a row,” a fan tweeted. “Just some perspective, Dan.”
