There have been many great Buffalo Bills players throughout the past 60 years. Unfortunately, none of them have won a Super Bowl. There have been championships. Yes, two of the best Bills teams in franchise history made this list, and that was before the AFL-NFL merger. A few of the best Bills teams in franchise history have made it agonizingly close. Likewise, some of the greatest Bills teams of all time have fallen short in the Big Game. Ranking the best Bills teams of all time includes looking at how close they came to winning it all, while also examining what could have been.
This was the start of the Jim Kelly era. Significantly, Kelly and Thurman Thomas led Buffalo to a divisional title. They would beat the Houston Oilers 17-10 in the AFC Divisional Round. While things looked promising, they would fall short in their next game, losing to the Cincinnati Bengals 21-10 in the AFC Title Game. It was still a sign of things to come. Additionally, it was the beginning of a historical stretch run.
The Bills have never won a Super Bowl. Yet, they have won several AFL championships. This squad is one of the best Bills teams in franchise history. Notably, they thrived with a 10-3-1 record. Buffalo would go on to beat the San Diego Chargers 23-0 behind a suffocating defense, winning their second straight AFL Title. While things looked promising for the organization, it would prove to be the last title in franchise history.
This team is one of the best Bills teams of all time and even made the top 100 teams list. Amazingly, it was the start of a great era with a dominant defense, and quarterback Jack Kemp leading the offense. Just like they would do in the following season, Buffalo defeated the Chargers 20-7 in the AFL Title Game. Thus, the beginning of a dominant era had begun.
This team was the favorite to go to the Super Bowl. Unfortunately, they suffered yet another crushing loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Title Game. Quarterback Josh Allen was electric throughout the regular season, passing for 3,731 yards, 28 touchdowns, and six interceptions. Also, he ran for 531 yards and 12 touchdowns.
The Bills went 13-4, winning another AFC East division title. Then, they dominated the Denver Broncos 31-7 in the AFC Wildcard Game. Buffalo would sneak past the Baltimore Ravens 27-25 in the AFC Divisional Round. Unfortunately, they would fall 32-29 to the Chiefs in the AFC Title Game. This is one of the best Bills teams in franchise history to fall short once again.
Allen was great for this team. Unfortunately, another early playoff exit soured it. Many experts considered this team a Super Bowl favorite. Yet, most remember this group for a near-tragedy that almost devastated...
