The 2023 season was the Buffalo Bills' 64th season as a franchise, their 54th in the National Football League (NFL), their ninth full season under the ownership of Terry and Kim Pegula, and their seventh under the head coach/general manager tandem of Sean McDermott and Brandon Beane.
Despite a midseason slump that resulted in the team failing to match their franchise-best 13–3 record from the previous season and the firing of offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey after 10 games,[1][2][3] the Bills went on a late season surge. They would go from 6–6 at their bye week to winning all five of their final games of the regular season. They clinched their fifth consecutive winning season with a Week 16 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers, and later clinched their fifth consecutive playoff appearance and sixth in seven seasons after the Jacksonville Jaguars lost in Week 18. The Bills defeated the Miami Dolphins later that day to win their fourth consecutive AFC East title, overcoming a three-game Miami lead in the final five weeks. This marked the first time that the Bills had won four consecutive division titles since the 1988–1991 teams.
The Bills would go on defeat the Pittsburgh Steelers 31–17 in the wildcard round, winning a playoff game for the fourth consecutive year. However, the Bills’ late season resurgence came to an end when they were defeated at home by the eventual back-to-back Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs 27–24 in the Divisional Round, after an attempted game tying field goal by Tyler Bass went wide right. This marked the Bills' third consecutive loss in the Divisional Round and the third time in four seasons that they were eliminated by the Chiefs.
