The Buffalo Bills head into Week 15 fresh off a 39-34 win over the Cincinnati Bengals.
The Bills have been at the top of NFL national power rankings polls most weeks throughout the 2025 season.
Is this week going to be different?
Here’s how the Bills fare in national media power rankings polls heading into Week 15:
USA Today
7. Buffalo Bills (7): They're holding steady at No. 7 − and QB Josh Allen, who might be the league's best quarterback at this point and perhaps the most dangerous and experienced one on the AFC side of the playoff bracket, is looking like a man who could finally be on a fruitful Super Bowl mission.

6. Bills (No. 8; 9-4): Josh Allen saved the season. (Christian Benford had a big assist.)

Sunday: Beat Bengals 39-34
Worst-case scenario: Moving out of this stadium
This is the Bills’ last season in Highmark Stadium. The new stadium will be palatial, but it’s never going to feel like Buffalo’s beautiful bandbox of a building. On Sunday, Bills quarterback Josh Allen became the first player in NFL history with at least one rushing touchdown and one passing touchdown in 50 games. He had 235 total yards and three touchdowns in the second half of a snow game straight out of a Disney movie.

Week 14 Result: Won 39-34 vs. Cincinnati
Despite questions about their pass-catching group, the Buffalo Bills are built to win scoring shootouts, and Josh Allen shines in big moments.
The Bills needed the MVP version of their star quarterback, and that's who they saw throw for three touchdowns and rush for 78 yards and a score on nine carries in a win over the Cincinnati Bengals.
Buffalo's defense has allowed 30 or more points in three of the team's previous five outings, which raises concerns for this club down the stretch, but Allen is the ultimate equalizer with his arm and legs.

Josh Allen carried them past the Bengals in the snow, showing exactly how this team needs to play to win. It's his time. Let him loose.

7. Buffalo Bills (+3)
The Bengals had the Bills on the brink in snowy Buffalo before QB Josh Allen and the Bills' defense started finally looking like contenders. Did Cincinnati jostle a sleeping giant?

6. Buffalo Bills (+3)
Down 10 points late, with the snow really piling up, Josh Allen and an opportunistic Bills defense dominated the final eight minutes with an incredible flourish against the scrappy Bengals, keeping Buffalo's faint divisional hopes alive. The Bills will need to beat the well-rested Patriots on Sunday in Foxborough -- and do more than that -- to even harbor those thoughts, but it's possible. Yet, I think this team remains dangerous as a wild card, if that's the way it goes. With the Bengals, Ravens and Chiefs all falling off, and even the upstart Colts falling on hard times, you simply cannot count out an Allen-led group in the playoffs. I'm not ignoring Buffalo's defensive limitations, nor am I looking away from James Cook's rising fumble total. But with Allen, the Bills nearly always have a chance.

My takeaway from Sunday’s game is that, so long as the Bills have Josh Allen, the team can never play in a closed-roof stadium in Buffalo in the winter. Against a pocket passer—even

Most shocking statistical ranking: Defensive end Joey Bosa is first in forced fumbles
Much of what the Bills are doing statistically is to be expected, including offensive numbers that are down from last season's difficult-to-replicate lack of turnovers or sacks. But there was some uncertainty as to what Bosa would be at this point in his career. The one-year signing has aged well overall, and the highs have included his five forced fumbles. Bosa's most recent turnover came versus the Steelers in Week 13, leading to a Christian Benford touchdown. This is already his second-most forced fumbles in a single season (seven in 2021).
