The Buffalo Bills maintained a strong tradition of special teams play during their playoff drought, although the beginning of the decade saw a bit of upheaval.

Lindell signed with the Bills as a restricted free agent after three seasons in Seattle. He would go on to start 152 games in ten seasons for Buffalo, the most of any kicker in franchise history.
