The Bills had a chance to start a dynasty a decade before Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots did.
But instead, Buffalo endured arguably the most heartbreaking stretch in NFL history.
By now, Patriots fans have come to appreciate the greatness that was the 20-year dynasty of the Belichick and Tom Brady-led teams. Beginning in 2001 with their first Super Bowl win and lasting until Brady’s final season in New England in 2019, the Patriots had a run no other team ever has. Within 20 years, the Patriots won six Super Bowl championships including three in four years at the start of the 2000s and three in five years in the 2010s.
