Buffalo Bills 1997 Season Schedule & Scores

In 1997, the Buffalo Bills experienced a dramatic decline, finishing with a disappointing 6-10 record—a far cry from their four straight Super Bowl appearances in the early '90s. Hampered by a weakened roster and an underperforming offense, the Bills faced great difficulty in sustaining their former dominance. They ended the season third in the AFC East, trailing the New England Patriots and Miami Dolphins. Despite the efforts of quarterback Jim Kelly and running back Thurman Thomas, the team's struggle to recapture their earlier success signaled a notable shift in the franchise's fortunes.
