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).
