The Buffalo Bills were one of the most successful of the
charter members of the AFL, winning back to back titles in 1964 and 1965. Since
then, the Bills have become more famous for making four consecutive trips to the
Super Bowl, only to lose every one.
The team's on field fortunes took a downturn between 1967 and
1972, as injuries took their toll. Nevertheless, in 1973 the Bills made a
spectacular turn around, led by 2,000 yard rusher O.J. Simpson. Instead of
beginning a new stretch for the Bills, it would be the team's last post season
appearance until 1980.
Throughout the 1980s, the Bills built through the draft.
Among the key players the team drafted were: quarterback Jim Kelly, wide
receiver Andre Reed, defensive end Bruce Smith, and running back Thurman Thomas.
These were the players that led the Bills to an unprecedented four consecutive
Super Bowl appearances. Most memorable among these was in 1991 (Super Bowl XXV),
which the Bills lost when their kicker Scott Norwood missed a last second field
goal attempt.
