Despite the heartbreak, the Bills fanbase was more than happy with the team’s display over the course of the 2020 NFL season. The Bills made some big roster moves last year. But the decrease in the cap space due to the Coronavirus crisis means that the AFC East title holders are working with a limited budget of $5,295,320 this summer.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Buffalo Bills 2022: News, Schedule, Roster, Score, Injury Report</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">The Buffalo Bills were founded in 1960 as a charter member of the American Football League (AFL) and joined the ranks of the NFL in 1970 following the NFL-AFL merger. They are the only NFL club that plays its home games in the state of New York. The franchise is owned by Terry and Kim Pegula who picked up the majority ownership tag following the death of the original owner Ralph Wilson back in 2014.</p>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-497552 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201230195043/buffalo.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1080" />
<p style="text-align: center">The franchise won two AFL championships back in 1964 and 1965, and these chips stand as the only major professional sports championships from a team representing Buffalo. Chiefly, the Bills found heightened success between 1990 and 1993 when they appeared in a record-setting four straight Super Bowls. However, they would go on to lose all four games.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">This unparalleled success was followed by a meaningful active playoff drought making them the last NFL franchise and the last in the four major leagues to qualify for a post-season in the 21<sup>st</sup> century. The club seems to have found its footing under Head Coach Sean McDermott however, the Bills still remain the only AFC East team to have never won a Super Bowl.</p>

<p style="text-align: center">The 2020 campaign of the Buffalo Bills was a resounding success as they improved on their 2019 record of 10-6 by finishing off the regular season with a 13-3 run placing 1st in the AFC East. The Bills beat the Colts 27-24 in the Wild Card Playoffs as well as the Divisional Round against the Baltimore Ravens 17-3.</p>

Josh Allen

Â Who is Josh Allen? Joshua Patrick Allen is the starting quarterback for the Buffalo Bills of the National Football League (NFL). He was drafted in 2018 as the 7th overall pick in the first round by the Bills. He played college football at Wyoming and even grabbed the bowl game MVP title. His journey on being drafted wasn&#8217;t an easy one. However, in 2020, Josh Allen had his breakout as he led the Bills to their first division title and playoff victory since 1995. KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI &#8211; OCTOBER 16: Josh Allen #17 of the Buffalo Bills reacts after defeating the Kansas City Chiefs 24-20 at Arrowhead Stadium on October 16, 2022, in Kansas City, Missouri. (Photo by Jason Hanna/Getty Images) Since then, during his tenure with the team, he has guided the team to a total of five playoff appearances, four consecutive division titles, and five postseason victories. Apart from leading his team, his strategy on the ground has allowed him to achieve feats as an individual player, including the 2x Pro Bowl. Josh Allen&#8217;s early life and family background Born on May 21, 1996, Josh Allen belonged to a prestigious family. He lived on a farm near Firebaugh, California, with his parents Joel and Lavonne Allen. According to sources, the family has been living on a 3000-acre farm since his great-grandfather&#8217;s time, who had come to America from Sweden in the 1970s. He also has three siblings &#8211; one older brother named Jason Allen and two younger sisters Nicala and Makenna Allen. The Bills&#8217; QB attended Firebaugh High School and had many friends. Later, he attended Reedley College, a junior college. An interesting fact about Josh Allen is that he was the first person from Firebaugh to play college football. Following this, he gained entrance into the University of Wyoming, where he dedicated his time to football. At the university, he completed a bachelor&#8217;s degree in social science. Josh Allen&#8217;s girlfriend Josh Allen&#8217;s personal life brings enormous limelight toward his rumored girlfriend, Hailee Steinfeld. She is a singer and actress from California, who got her breakthrough from the movie True Grit in 2010. Her other works include the Pitch Perfect film series, The Edge of Seventeen(2016- won a Golden Globe), and Bumblebee(2018). Steinfeld also secured the opportunity to voice multiple animated characters like Gwen Stacy/Spider-Woman in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. One of her most popular characters remains playing Emily Dickinson in the comedy series Dickinson. While no confirmation has been made about her relationship with the Buffalo Bills QB, the two have often been seen together since May 2023. This was shortly after Allen had broken off things with longtime girlfriend, Brittany Williams. The two were first seen together on May 25, 2023, as the New York Post published the photos of Allen and Steinfeld exiting a black SUV together. Just two days later, they were spotted on another date in NYC. This time they were accompanied by two more people. On May 29, 2023, a source close to the actress confirmed her relationship with Josh Allen to PEOPLE, stating that they had been &#8220;hanging out for a few weeks.&#8221; The person had even called the two a cute couple, mentioning how things are still new and fun for the couple. On May 31, 2023, the duo enjoyed yet another date in New York, at Sushi By Bou. The sushi date became viral when the owner of the place, Michael Sinensky, posted a picture of the couple on Facebook. In the image, Allen could be seen with his arm around the singer, in the presence of another couple. Almost a month later, on June 22, another source told PEOPLE that the couple is getting to know each other and they are still dating. August 3 brought out a comment on the relationship from the QB himself. During a podcast episode on Pardon My Take, Allen was asked about his relationship making headlines along with the two seen making out. The QB sounded exasperated about this and commented, &#8220;The fact that anybody cares about that still blows my mind.&#8221; October 2 witnessed a new step in the relationship of Josh Allen and Hailee Steinfeld. The actress was seen shopping with the QB&#8217;s mom, Lavonne. On January 7, Hailee was seen evading questions regarding the relationship. Though on January 29, two of them were seen driving around Laguna Niguel, California, a week after the Bills lost to the Kansas City Chiefs. Concerning her presence at the Bills vs Chiefs clash, the actress was reported to have attended the game. But had conveyed the wish of &#8220;preferring not to be seen&#8221; duringÂ theÂ game. Josh Allen&#8217;s net worth The Bills QB has a net worth of $14 million, per Celebrity Net Worth.

Josh Allen&#8217;s career timeline Josh Allen played college football for the Wyoming Cowboys (2015-2017). On the back of a successful college career, Josh Allen piqued the interest of several NFL teams ahead of the 2018 NFL draft. At the event, the Buffalo Bills traded up and made Allen their top draft pick of the night. He went 7th overall and became the 3rd quarterback to find a team in 2018. Furthermore, he was picked ahead of future NFL MVP Lamar Jackson. Initially, he served as a backup to Nathan Peterman but replaced him following Peterman&#8217;s 0.0 passer rating in the first 2 quarters of week 1. Subsequently, Allen who donned the No.17 jersey slotted in as the first-choice quarterback. He missed 4 games due to injury in his rookie season but returned to claim the starting role soon after. The QB started slowly with the Buffalo team. In his first two seasons, he, unfortunately, ranked last in the NFL in completion percentage, with a rate of 52.8 in 2018 and 58.8 in the following year 2019. Yet, rather than giving up, the QB fought through the tough phase and secured 20 TD passes as his side made it to the postseason. However, his positive run could only take the team ahead as they lost in the wild-card round itself.
