Buffalo Bills

The Buffalo Bills are a professional American football team based in the Buffalo and Niagara Falls area of western New York. They compete in the National Football League as a member of the American Football Conference East division and play their home games at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, New York, which makes them the only NFL team that plays home games in the state of New York. The club was founded in 1959 as a charter member of the American Football League and joined the NFL in 1970 after the merger of the two leagues. Its name was taken from an earlier Buffalo franchise in the All-America Football Conference, itself named after the frontiersman Buffalo Bill. The Bills reached the AFL Championship Game three years running from 1964 to 1966 and won the first two, and the team is owned by Terry Pegula.
