Bills, Lions and Texans vie for first Super Bowl title in 2026

The Bills finished the 2025 campaign with a 12‑5 record and have won at least one playoff game for six consecutive seasons. Allen’s evolution into one of the league’s elite quarterbacks has turned Buffalo into a perennial contender.

The Lions have bolstered their defense and seen rapid development from young playmakers, positioning them as serious threats. Meanwhile, the Texans have assembled a new core and adopted an aggressive offensive scheme in pursuit of their inaugural Lombardi Trophy.

All three clubs will clash in pivotal matchups later this year as they vie for the top spot in the AFC and NFC.
