To mark Labor Day across the United States, the Buffalo Bills announced the team’s captains for the 2025 NFL season. It’s a familiar list, as the Bills are running it back this season with the same pair who led the charge in 2024.
The news should come as little surprise, given how successful the team was in 2024, coming within one game of Super Bowl LIX. The goal remains the same in 2025: to reach the league’s biggest game and bring home a Lombardi Trophy to Western New York.

Josh Allen and linebacker Terrel Bernard reprise their roles leading the Bills’ roster everywhere from the gridiron, to the locker room, in the classroom, and elsewhere. For Allen, it marks the seventh season in a row being named captain, while Bernard earns the captain’s “C” for a second straight campaign.
It’s the second season One Bills Drive has chosen to roll out a pared-down captains group. Taking this same step in 2024, the team also named players to a leadership council — which further enhanced head coach Sean McDermott’s desire to manage the team utilizing “player-driven leadership.” News about the inclusion of a leadership council in 2025 has yet to be announced.
