The Buffalo Bills were founded in 1959 in Buffalo, New York. They play home games at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, where the club is also headquartered. Terry Pegula owns the franchise, with Brandon Beane serving as general manager and Joe Brady as head coach. The Bills endured lean years in the early 2010s—finishing 4–12 in 2010 and hovering around .500 through 2016—before breaking through in 2017 with a 9–7 playoff berth. Since 2019 they have been one of the league's most consistent winners, reaching the postseason seven consecutive years through 2025. That run includes 13–3 finishes in both 2020 and 2022, and a 13–4 campaign in 2024. Quarterback Josh Allen anchors a roster that features James Cook, Dion Dawkins, Bradley Chubb, Keon Coleman, DJ Moore, Khalil Shakir, and Dalton Kincaid. The fanbase, known as Bills Mafia, has watched the team start 2026 at 3–0.
