Team History and Notable Games:
- Founding and AFL Success: The Buffalo Bills were founded in 1960 as one of the original teams of the American Football League (AFL). Under coach Lou Saban, the Bills won two AFL championships in 1964 and 1965 before the AFL-NFL merger in 1970, when the Bills joined the NFL.
- Four Consecutive Super Bowl Appearances: The Bills are renowned for their remarkable streak of four consecutive Super Bowl appearances in the early 1990s (Super Bowls XXV through XXVIII). Despite their success in reaching the big game, the Bills lost all four Super Bowls, earning them a unique place in NFL history.
- The “K-Gun” Offense: In the 1990s, the Bills were known for their innovative and explosive “K-Gun” offense under quarterback Jim Kelly. This fast-paced, versatile offense, named after Kelly, contributed significantly to the team’s success during this era and made the Bills one of the most exciting teams in the league.
