The Buffalo Bills are on the cusp of achieving a remarkable milestone in the NFL. With a current record of 9-4, they are approaching their seventh consecutive season with at least 10 wins. This achievement would tie them with the Dallas Cowboys of the late 1970s and early 1980s for the fifth-longest streak in NFL history.
Bills’ Streak of 10-Win Seasons
Since 2019, the Bills have maintained a strong performance, achieving 10 or more wins each season. Their impressive trajectory includes:
- 2019: 10-6
- 2020: 13-3
- 2021: 11-6
- 2022: 13-3 (notable for the suspended Damar Hamlin game)
- 2023: 11-6
Looking ahead, a 10-win season in 2024 would reinforce their position in NFL history. This would place them alongside several teams, notably:
- New England Patriots: Record of 17 consecutive seasons with 10 wins (2003-2019)
- San Francisco 49ers: 16 consecutive seasons (1983-1998)
- Kansas City Chiefs: Currently on a 10-year streak (2015-2024)
- Indianapolis Colts: 9 consecutive seasons (2002-2010)
Impact of the 17-Game Season
The introduction of a 17-game regular season format in 2021 has contributed to the increasing likelihood of teams achieving 10 wins. However, it’s important to note that the Bills have consistently performed well, avoiding the unofficial asterisk often associated with marginally successful seasons.
As they continue their campaign, the Bills face significant pressure to maintain their current record and secure their place in NFL history. With only a few games left in the season, their pursuit of a seventh consecutive 10-win season remains a focal point.
