Buffalo Bills

The Buffalo Bills are a professional  American football team based in Buffalo,   New York. They are currently  members of the East Division of the American Football Conference (AFC) in the  National Football League (nfl). They play their home games in the suburb of Orchard Park,  and since 2008 have played one home game per season in Toronto. The Bills began competitive play in  1960 as a charter member of the American Football League and joined the nfl as  part of the AFL-nfl merger in 1970. The Bills won two consecutive American  Football League titles in 1964 and 1965, but the club has not won a league  championship since then. Buffalo  is also the only team to win four consecutive American Football Conference  Championships, the only team in either conference to play in four  consecutive Super Bowl games, and the only team ever to lose four  consecutive Super Bowls.

  The Bills were named as the result of  the winning entry in a local contest, which named the team after the AAFC  Buffalo Bills, a previous football franchise from the All-America Football  Conference that merged with the Cleveland Browns in 1950. That team was named  after the historic Buffalo Bill. The Bills' cheerleaders are known as the  Buffalo Jills. The official mascot is Billy Buffalo; Cody is not used in the  team's iconography at all.

They are the only nfl team to play their  home games within New York State.  Both the New York Jets and the New York Giants play in East Rutherford, New  Jersey, nine miles from their headquarters in New York City. With the inception of the  5-year Bills Toronto Series deal in 2008 that is good through 2012, they are  the only nfl team to play a home game in Canada. The Bills conduct summer  training camp at St. John Fisher College  in a suburb of Rochester.
