Inside The Bills

Improving division record among priorities

Buffalo’s division record has proven tough to improve since the 2000 season. The Bills only have one season with a winning record in the division since the turn of the century.

That came in 2007 when Buffalo finished 4-2 in the division in a season when the team went 7-9. As we examined in our Top 25 Countdown, posting a winning record in the division is critical for playoff hopes. Here’s a look at what the division records have been for the Bills since 2000 along with the team’s final record at the end of the season.
