==Facts About the Team==
+
During its run in the AFL it won two league titles (1964 and 1965) but afterwards were relatively unsuccessful. During the 1970's the team's most famous player, [[O.J. Simpson]], would become the first NFL player to rush for 2,000 or more yards in a single season. It also was the only team to ever play a team from the [[Canadian Football League]] (the Hamilton Tiger-Cats; Hamilton is located within driving distance of Buffalo); unfortunately they also have the dubious distinction of being the only NFL franchise (though part of the AFL at the time) to lose to a CFL team (21-38 on August 8, 1961).
The Bills most recent string of success occurred from 1991-1994 when they reached the [[Super Bowl]] for four straight years, only to lose each time. The team came closest to winning the 1991 Super Bowl, in which the team trailed the [[New York Giants]] by one point with seconds remaining in the Super Bowl, when Scott Norwood missed a 47-yard field goal. The Bills have not seen a playoff berth since 1999. Ralph Wilson Stadium, in a Buffalo suburb, is named after their late owner. Famous felon [[O.J. Simpson]] is a former player who rushed for 2,000 yards. 90s players include Jim Kelly, who invented the no-huddle offense and Andre Reed, who is third all-time for

career catches. Simpson, Kelly and Reed all are in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Buffalo's team remains one of the teams with a small fan base.

The teams best period of success was from 1991-1994 when they reached the [[Super Bowl]] for four straight years, only to lose each time.  The four consecutive appearances is an NFL record; the four losses ties them with the [[Minnesota Vikings]] for most losses by a team that has not won a Super Bowl (the consecutive losses is itself an NFL record as well).
