The 2024 season was 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.
Due to the roster turnover, many outlets went into the season expecting regression for the Bills. Despite this, the Bills finished the regular season with a record of 13–4, their best since the introduction of the 17-game season in 2021, also improving on their 11–6 record from the previous season. The success of the Bills' offense despite the loss of star offensive players was in part because of a shift in offensive philosophy, dubbed "Everybody Eats," in which the offense was spread out among the team's wide receivers, running backs and tight ends along with quarterback Josh Allen. This would prevent opposing defenses from keying on one star. A total of 13 players scored at least one receiving touchdown in 2024, tying an NFL record.[1][2]
Highlights of the regular season included a Week 11 win over the then-undefeated Kansas City Chiefs that clinched the Bills' sixth consecutive winning season. Two weeks later, they 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. This broke the franchise record set when they won four consecutive division titles from 1988–1991.[3] Lastly, a Week 17 win over the New York Jets helped the team secure the no. 2 seed in the AFC for the third consecutive year.
In addition, the Bills won all eight of their home games for the first time since 1990 and scored a franchise-record 525 points, surpassing their total from 2020. The team drew an average home attendance of 70,696 in 8 home games in the 2024 NFL season, a 9.8% increase from the previous year.
In the playoffs, the Bills defeated the seventh seed Denver Broncos 31–7 in the Wild Card Round, followed by a close 27–25 win against the third seed Baltimore Ravens in the Divisional Round to advance to the AFC Championship for the first time since 2020.[4] In doing this, the Bills made just their second AFC Championship since 1993. In the championship, they lost to the first seed Kansas City Chiefs for the fourth time over the course of five consecutive postseasons.
