Important dates in Bills history presented by M&T bank helps fans understand what’s important. In the NFL, being the best is important. The Bills cemented their place as the best AFC team of the 1990s when they became the sixth NFL team in history to win 100 games in one decade.
The Bills win on November 28, 1999 was not a pretty one. Quarterback Doug Flutie completed only nine passes, and the team’s leading rusher, running back Jonathan Linton picked up only 67 yards on the ground. Nevertheless, the Bills put together three scoring drives, and it was enough to beat the visiting New England Patriots 17-7 for the franchise’s 100th win in the 1990s.
