The Buffalo Bills have a history of Super Bowl appearances that they might want to forget. The Bills enjoyed a run of successful seasons during the 1990s and made it to four Super Bowls. The unfortunate history of the Bills is that they failed to win the Super Bowl on each occasion. The Buffalo Bills also faced the longest playoff drought by any NFL team when they missed out on the playoffs for 16 years (2000-2016). The closest the Bills came to another Super Bowl appearance was in the 2020 playoffs when they lost the Conference Championship against the Kansas City Chiefs (and missed out on the Super Bowl spot).
