American Football Conference · AFC East
The Buffalo Bills were founded in 1959 in Buffalo, New York. The franchise plays home games at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, NY, where the club is also headquartered. Owner Terry Pegula oversees the organization, with Brandon Beane serving as general manager and Joe Brady as head coach. Jim Leonhard coordinates the defense. The Bills have become one of the NFL's most consistent contenders. After years hovering around .500—including a 4–12 mark in 2010—the club made the playoffs in 2017 and has qualified for the postseason in eight of the last nine seasons through 2025. That run includes three 13-win campaigns (2020, 2022, 2024) and a 12–5 finish in 2025. The current roster features quarterback Josh Allen, running backs James Cook and Frank Gore Jr., receivers Keon Coleman, DJ Moore, Khalil Shakir, and Greg Dortch, tight ends Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox, offensive linemen Dion Dawkins and Connor McGovern, pass rusher Bradley Chubb, and defensive backs C.J. Gardner-Johnson and Geno Stone, with Tyler Bass handling kicking duties.
