On paper, the Buffalo Payments look vastly weakened in comparison with the rosters they’ve had the previous 4 years after they received the AFC East every time.
They traded four-time Professional Bowl large receiver Stefon Diggs to the Houston Texas and misplaced WR2 Gabriel Davis in free company this offseason, and thus they are going to be reliant on a younger and unproven group of wideouts.
Alternatively, the Payments nonetheless have a robust protection, and linebacker Von Miller stays an elder statesman on that facet of the soccer.
Miller feels that due to that protection and quarterback Josh Allen, the 2024 Payments remind him of his 2015 Tremendous Bowl champion Denver Broncos, per SiriusXM NFL Radio.
“It’s just a matter of time before we get over the hump,” Miller mentioned. “And I reference my days back in Denver. … That’s the kind of feel that I have here. You just gotta keep goin’ at it. We still gotta great quarterback. Eventually it’s gonna go in.”

As Miller identified, these Broncos had failed over a few years of their quest to win all of it, and by 2015, they’d misplaced Professional Bowl tight finish Julius Thomas and veteran large receiver Wes Welker.
In 2015, quarterback Peyton Manning was in his remaining 12 months and had clearly declined, however the crew pulled collectively and acquired the job achieved in Tremendous Bowl 50 in opposition to the Carolina Panthers.
For these Payments to go additional than they’ve ever gone earlier than — they’ve by no means received a Vince Lombardi Trophy and haven’t gotten to the Tremendous Bowl for the reason that 1993 season — they may want loads of inside enchancment.
Khalil Shakir is a younger wideout they hope will decide up the slack for the departed Diggs, they usually even have excessive hopes for second-round draft decide Keon Coleman, a large receiver out of Florida State College.
However the Payments will possible lean on their protection, which is one thing these 2015 Broncos did when Miller ended up successful MVP of the Tremendous Bowl.
