About Buffalo Bills
The Buffalo Bills are a football team based out of the Buffalo metropolitan area. With a storied history dating back to the AFL-NFL merger, the Bills have etched their name among football's elite. Established in 1959, the team originally competed in the American Football League (AFL) before joining the NFL in 1970. The Buffalo Bills were one of the most dominant teams in the NFL during the 1980s. With five AFC Eastern titles to their name, the Bills created history by making it to the Super Bowl for four consecutive seasons (1990-93). The Bills however, faced a massive playoff drought of 16 years between 2000 and 2016 seasons. Quarterback Josh Allen led the Bills to their first playoff appearance since 2000 when he got drafted in 2018. The Bills are currently valued at $3.4 billion as per Forbes.

Buffalo Bills Roster 2023-24
The Buffalo Bills boast a strong roster for the upcoming season. Quarterback Josh Allen and wide receiver Stefon Diggs are the two most threatening players on the roster. Josh Allen stands as the epitome of a versatile quarterback in the NFL today. In the 2022 season, he orchestrated an astounding 46 total touchdowns, with 38 through the air and eight on the ground. Notably, Allen boasted the third-highest passing grade (85.8) and the highest rushing grade (92.8) among all quarterbacks. His ability to excel in both passing and running aspects of the game sets him apart as a true do-it-all force on the field. Despite waiting until the fifth round to select a receiver, the Bills hit the jackpot in the 2023 draft by picking former Utah tight end Dalton Kincaid at 25th overall. His talent makes him arguably the draft's best pass catcher overall. Buffalo might adopt more 12 personnel formations, pairing Kincaid with incumbent Dawson Knox to maximize their receiving options on the field.
