Patriots-Bills Rivalry

The Patriots-Bills rivalry spans 60 years, dating back to 1960 when both teams were members of the American Football League. The two teams have combined for 17 AFL/AFC championships, the most of any two teams in the NFC East. 

The rivalry has been competitive over those 60 years, with the Patriots leading the matchup all-time at 79-51-1. However, the majority of those wins came during the Tom Brady era, with the quarterback having a record of 32-3 against Buffalo in his time with New England. 

Since Brady's departure in 2020, the Bills are 7-3 against the Patriots, including a 47-17 beatdown in the 2021-2022 NFL playoffs.
