It still hurts... Bills defense really struggled and it seems that 1997 was the beginning of this mediocre era.

1997: With Jim Kelly's replacements Todd Collins and Alex Van Pelt both struggling all season the Bills play mediocre football all season. The Bills would fade at the end losing their final 3 games to finish with a 6-10 record. Following the season Coach Marv Levy, the winningest coach in Bills history would retire after a distinctive 11-year tenure. Levy would be replaced by Defensive Coordinator Wade Phillips.
