- The 1979 Buffalo Bills season was the franchise's 10th season in the National Football League, and 20th overall. Head coach Chuck Knox spent his second season with the Bills in 1979, improving on 1978's record by two games. The Bills were 7–6 with three games left to play, but they lost their final three games to finish with a losing record. (Even if Buffalo had won their final three games, they still would have lost the head-to-head tiebreaker to the Miami Dolphins (who finished 10–6) for the division title.) Buffalo's loss to Miami in Week Seven was their 20th straight loss to the Dolphins, an NFL record. The 1979 Bills were dead-last in rushing yards in the NFL, with only total 1,621 yards on the ground. Buffalo's 268 points scored was 23rd of the league's 28 teams. (en)
- La stagione 1979 dei Buffalo Bills è stata la decima della franchigia nella National Football League, la 20ª complessiva. Con Chuck Knox capo-allenatore per il secondo anno la squadra ebbe un record di 7-9, classificandosi quarta nella AFC East Division e mancando l'accesso ai playoff per il quinto anno consecutivo. In possesso della prima scelta assoluta, ottenuta dai San Francisco 49ers nello scambio che portò O.J. Simpson in California, i Bills scelsero Tom Cousineau. Questi non giocò mai con la squadra poiché scelse di firmare con i Montreal Alouettes della Canadian Football League, che offrirono il doppio dei soldi di Buffalo. Quando il giocatore volé tornare negli Stati Uniti, gli Houston Oilers fecero un'offerta per i suoi servigi ma Buffalo, che deteneva ancora i diritti sulla sua scelta, la pareggiò. In seguito cedette Cousineau ai Cleveland Browns in cambio della scelta del primo giro del Draft NFL 1983 (la 14ª assoluta) con cui i Bills scelsero Jim Kelly. Con una sconfitta contro i Dolphins nella settimana 7, la squadra perse la 20ª gara consecutiva contro Miami, un record NFL. (it)
