We take a look at the 10 best seasons in Buffalo Bills franchise history as the team seeks a return to greatness in 2018 and beyond.

The 2017 Buffalo Bills didn’t win the Super Bowl. They didn’t even win a playoff game. What they did do was end a playoff drought that lasted since the 1999 season.

Bills fans never lost the faith, but it sure was nice for all that devotion to pay off with a meaningful game in January. It didn’t end the way fans wanted it to, yet it gives fans immense optimism in “The Process” as the team prepares for the 2018 season.

This return to the postseason got me thinking about some of the greatest seasons in Bills history. The team is still in search of that elusive Super Bowl victory, but the franchise isn’t without its amazing runs since the inaugural season in 1960.

There have been AFL championships, before the days of the Super Bowl, and of course the four Super Bowl appearances during the heyday of Jim Kelly.

This article serves to highlight the 10 best seasons in Bills history. It is by no means a definitive ranking, so feel free to leave your personal ranking in the comments section of the post.

Our first season on the list is one fresh in the minds of Bills fans.
