History

Historical Context

The Buffalo Bills, established in 1960, have a storied history marked by four consecutive Super Bowl appearances from 1990 to 1993 under coach Marv Levy. After a playoff drought lasting 17 years, Sean McDermott revitalized the team from 2017 to 2023, leading them to four playoff berths. His recent firing reflects the franchise's ongoing quest for a Super Bowl title, a goal unachieved since the early 1990s.
