The 2024 season is the Buffalo Bills' 55th in the National Football League (NFL), their 65th overall, their tenth full season under the ownership of Terry and Kim Pegula, and their eighth under the head coach/general manager tandem of Sean McDermott and Brandon Beane.
This is their first season since 2019 without wide receiver Stefon Diggs, as he was traded to the Houston Texans. The team also released several veterans such as center Mitch Morse, cornerback Tre'Davious White, and safety Jordan Poyer, several players who had been key contributors during the McDermott era, among others.
With a Week 11 win over the then-undefeated Kansas City Chiefs, the Bills secured their sixth consecutive winning season. The Bills clinched their fifth consecutive AFC East title, as well as their sixth consecutive playoff appearance since 2019, with a Week 13 win over the San Francisco 49ers, breaking the franchise record set when they won four consecutive division titles from 1988–1991.[1] They also improved on their 11–6 record from last year with a Week 16 win over the New England Patriots. Their 10–2 record at the time was their best start to a season since 1991. Their hopes of clinching the No. 1 seed, a first-round bye, and home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs were dashed following a Week 17 Kansas City win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Christmas Day.
