1980 was the breakthrough season for Knox and his young Bills. Knox added veteran characters, Conrad Dobler and Phil Villipiano to a young and talented squad that included Joe Cribbs, Lucious Sanford, Ken Jones, Joe Devlin, Steve Freeman, Ben Williams, Mario Clark and Charlie Romes. In their first game of the season, the Bills would exorcise the 20 year Miami jinx and win 17-7. It was the spark that would ignite the Bills to win its first five games without a loss and finish the season at 11-5 and first in the AFC Eastern Division. Knox was named AFC coach of the year, the first Bills coach to be so named since Lou Saban, in 1965. Chuck Knox's record as Bills coach stands at 38-38-0, good for third all-time, behind Lou Saban and Marv Levy.
