The 1969 Buffalo Bills season was the team’s tenth season, and was the final season of the American Football League before the 1970 AFL-NFL Merger. The Bills played an AFL-record seven games against opponents that went on to reach the postseason; Buffalo lost all seven of these games. This was the rookie season for running back O. J. Simpson, the Heisman Trophy winner from Southern California and first overall selection in the draft, who went on to a Hall of Fame career. It was the final season for quarterback Jack Kemp, who decided to run for New York's 39th congressional district in 1970 that he ultimately won; elected at the age of 35, Kemp would serve in Congress until 1989. Although Buffalo only won four games, their penultimate win—a Week Ten victory against the Miami Dolphins—would be their last victory against the Dolphins until the 1980 season. After the win, the Bills suffered against Miami an NFL-record twenty consecutive games lost by one team to another. The last remaining active member of the 1969 Buffalo Bills was wide receiver Haven Moses, who retired after the 1981 NFL season.
