Tonight, legendary NFL executive Bill Polian will be enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Polian has held many positions with many teams over the years, but he broke into the NFL's consciousness as the Buffalo Bills' general manager.
From 1984 until the end of the 1992 season, Polian had a hand in creating the only team that has ever won four consecutive conference championships. The work he did with the Bills is a very large part of the reason that he's entering the Hall. Here's a look back at some of the most consequential moments during his run in Orchard Park, a few of which are detailed in The Game Plan: The Art of Building a Winning Football Teamby Polian and Vic Carucci.
