The Buffalo Bills had one of the best offensive seasons in franchise history in 2024. They broke the franchise record for points in a season, became the first team in history with 30 passing and 30 rushing touchdowns in a season, and scored more points than any team in the NFL (playoffs included).
The Bills earned the No. 4 spot in Brent Sobleski's NFL offense rankings, but in doing so, the quiet part about the Bills' offense was said out loud.
"In truth, not much about the Bills offense beyond Allen scares opposing defenses," Sobleski writes on Bleacher Report. "Khalil Shakir is a rock-solid target, who understands coverages and how to create separation. Running back James Cook is quite talented, but he hasn't been asked to regularly carry the ball 15 or more times per game. Keon Coleman and Dalton Kincaid are young targets with upside. They both need to show more, though. The offensive line is quite good but not dominant like the league's best units. All in all, Allen makes the Bills go, maybe more so than any other quarterback respective to his offense. Based on that alone, Buffalo finds itself in the league's top-five units."
It's no secret that the Bills have few stars on offense outside of Allen. And if it weren't for No. 17, the Bills would not be anywhere near the perennial powerhouse they are.
