And while Buffalo's Super Bowl run in the early 1990's was a memorable one, it is also came with plenty of heartbreak for Bills fans.
They do, however, have two championships in their history.
Here is a rundown of their title game past:
Have the Buffalo Bills ever won a Super Bowl?
Nope.
The Bills are one of 12 teams that haven't won a Super Bowl. The teams without a Super Bowl victory are the: Arizona Cardinals, Atlanta Falcons, Buffalo Bills, Carolina Panthers, Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland Browns, Detroit Lions, Houston Texans, Jacksonville Jaguars, Los Angeles Chargers, Minnesota Vikings and Tennessee Titans.
Buffalo Bills four Super Bowl appearances
The Buffalo Bills appeared in a record four consecutive Super Bowls from 1991-1994. The Bills and Minnesota Vikings are the only two teams to make four appearances and not have a Super Bowl win.
When was the last time the Bills went to the Super Bowl
Buffalo hasn't gone to the Super Bowl in more than 30 years. They lost to the Dallas Cowboys, 30-13, in their fourth straight Super Bowl loss.
Have the Buffalo Bills ever won a championship?
The Bills won back-to-back AFL Championships in 1964 and 1965. The AFL and NFL merged a year later. Buffalo hasn't won a league championship since.
The Bills defeated the San Diego Chargers both years for their AFL titles.
Buffalo almost made it to the first Super Bowl. The Bills advanced to their third straight AFL championship game in 1966 but lost to the Kansas City Chiefs 31-7 to determine entry into the AFL-NFL World Championship Game, which is now known as Super Bowl I.
The Buffalo Bills appeared in a record four consecutive Super Bowls from 1991-1994. The Bills and Minnesota Vikings are the only two teams to make four appearances and not have a Super Bowl win.
As a member of the American Football League (AFL), the Bills won two league championships (1964 and 1965), and, while playing in the NFL (after the merger of the AFL and the NFL in 1970), they appeared in a record four consecutive Super Bowls (1991–94), losing on each occasion.
The Bills have the distinction of being the only team to advance to four consecutive Super Bowls between 1990 and 1993, but also the regrettable distinction of losing all four of them.
Unfortunately, Buffalo lost every single one of them. The closest the Bills came to winning the Lombardi Trophy was in Super Bowl XXV (1990 season) when Buffalo kicker Scott Norwood missed a 47-yard field goal during the final minute and the New York Giants won 20-19.
The game was played on January 28, 1990, at the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana. The 49ers defeated the Broncos by the score of 55–10, winning their second consecutive Super Bowl, and their fourth overall, tying the Pittsburgh Steelers for the most Super Bowl wins at that time.
The Bills are your 2023 AFC East champions after their 21-14 victory over Miami. It's Buffalo's fourth consecutive season winning the AFC East and their first time doing so since 1988-1991. It's the third time in team history that the Bills have won the division four straight years in a row (1963-66).
The record books also say the Buffalo Bills are the only team to play in four straight Super Bowls. Heck, only one other team -- the '71-'73 Miami Dolphins -- even made it to three in a row. But the Bills lost those four Super Bowls by an average score of 35-18. And now?
Having been in existence since 1920, the Cardinals are the oldest franchise without a Super Bowl victory, though they did win two league championships (1925, 1947) prior to the Super Bowl era when they were based in Chicago.
Twelve current NFL teams have never won a Super Bowl: Arizona Cardinals, Atlanta Falcons, Buffalo Bills, Carolina Panthers, Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland Browns, Detroit Lions, Houston Texans, Jacksonville Jaguars, Los Angeles Chargers, Minnesota Vikings, and Tennessee Titans.
Yet, ironically, as good as he clearly was, Simpson only managed to play in one playoff game in his entire career, a 1974 Divisional Round game between the Buffalo Bills and the Pittsburgh Steelers which the Bills lost 32-14. That's right, The Juice never won a Super Bowl because he never even played in one.
McNabb gets a lot of criticism for failing to win the Super Bowl, but his nine playoff victories are tied for the most by a quarterback that's never won a Super Bowl. McNabb actually has as many playoff wins as Drew Brees and more than Dan Marino (eight).
The Arizona Cardinals are the oldest established team in the NFL. They were established in 1898 as an independent team and joined the NFL in its founding year of 1920.
The Cowboys defeated the Bills by the score of 52–17, winning their third Super Bowl in team history, and their first one in 15 years. This game is tied with Super Bowl XXXVII as the fourth-highest scoring Super Bowl with 69 combined points, as of 2023.
The Cowboys defeated the Steelers by the score of 27–17, winning their fifth Super Bowl in team history. The game was played on January 28, 1996, at Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe, Arizona, the first time the Super Bowl was played in the Phoenix metropolitan area.
