Reaching the AFC championship really helped Allen.
Since Josh Allen was drafted -
Cowboys are 54-37 (https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/cowboys-record-since-2018)
Cowboys have 2 division titles (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NFC_East#Division_champions) With a 2-3 playoff record and never been passed the Divisional round (https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/dal/playoffs.htm)
Bills are 58-33 (https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/bills-record-since-2018) - Bills have played one more game than the Cowboys Bills have 3 division titles (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AFC_East#Division_champions) With a 4-4 playoff record and one AFC Championship appearance (https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/buf/playoffs.htm)
I honestly expected there to be more of a gap but that shows what media perception around the Cowboys does
I would say the Bills are obviously better over that stretch, they won 1 extra game a year and have twice as many playoff wins. How many teams even have 5+ playoff wins in that stretch? Chiefs, Bucs, Rams, and Niners? It also helps that Allen is replacing Tyrod Taylor and doing way better, while Dak is replacing Romo who had basically the same level of success as him.
Huh? Allen replaced Taylor, who the season prior, got the Bills to the playoffs. The season Dak was drafted, the Cowboys were picking top 5 because of how god awful they were.
