The Buffalo Bills, currently holding a record of 9-4, find themselves on the cusp of relinquishing their stronghold on the AFC East after five consecutive years at the top. Simultaneously, they are also very close to achieving yet another season with at least 10 wins, a milestone they have reached every year since 2019.
If they manage to secure a 10-win record this season, it will mark their seventh consecutive year achieving this feat, tying them with the 1975-1981 Dallas Cowboys for the fifth-longest streak of 10-win seasons in NFL history. The Bills would still be behind the New England Patriots, who hold the record with an impressive 17 consecutive seasons from 2003 to 2019. Other notable streaks include the San Francisco 49ers with 16 straight seasons from 1983 to 1998, the Kansas City Chiefs who are aiming for a 10-year streak from 2015 through 2024, and the Indianapolis Colts with nine consecutive seasons from 2002 to 2010.
The introduction of the 17-game season format in 2021 has made it somewhat easier for teams to achieve 10 victories; however, the Bills’ consistent performance over the years stands unblemished by the nuances of schedule changes. Their record since 2019 showcases remarkable progress: starting with a 10-6 season in 2019, they have followed up with impressive totals of 13-3 in 2020, 11-6 in 2021, another 13-3 in 2022 (noting the unique circumstances around the Damar Hamlin game), and 11-6 in 2023. Following this impressive trajectory, they finished 2025 with a record of 13-4.
The Bills continue to be a formidable force in the league, demonstrating resilience and skill that are setting them up for a bright future in the playoffs. With their potential yet again to reach 10 wins, fans of the franchise have plenty to look forward to as the season progresses.
