So the elite defenses are Cleveland, Dallas, Baltimore, KC, and maybe SF? Got it.

Only thing that’s really surprising is the phillys defense went from historic to mid without Gannon.

The bills could not win another game this season and I’d still say closing the Super Bowl window is dramatic. Super Bowl caliber teams have off years. Obviously not the same caliber, but the 02 patriots went 9-7 and missed the playoffs in their 01-04 stretch which had 3 Super Bowl seasons.

Whether or not the bills are in a seasonal slump or their window is actually closed remains to be seen, but that cannot be determined by one season alone.
