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. Terry Pegula owns the team, with Brandon Beane serving as general manager and Joe Brady as head coach. The Bills are sometimes referred to as the Electric Company. After struggling through stretches like 4–12 in 2010 and 7–9 in 2016, Buffalo broke a long playoff drought in 2017 with a 9–7 record. Since 2019, the Bills have been one of the league's most consistent winners, making the playoffs in seven consecutive seasons through 2025. The 2020 and 2022 campaigns each produced 13–3 marks, while the 2024 and 2025 squads went 13–4 and 12–5 respectively. The current roster features quarterback Josh Allen, running backs James Cook and Frank Gore Jr., receivers Keon Coleman, DJ Moore, and Khalil Shakir, tight ends Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox, offensive linemen Dion Dawkins and Connor McGovern, pass rusher Bradley Chubb, defensive backs C.J. Gardner-Johnson and Geno Stone, and kicker Tyler Bass.
