The 1970 Buffalo Bills season was the franchise's first season in the
National Football League, and eleventh overall. The team looked to improve on its 4–10 record from
1969 and make the playoffs for the first time since
1966. However, the Bills started out on the wrong foot, losing four of their first five games. After winning two consecutive road games against
the Patriots and
Jets and suffering a blowout loss to
the Cincinnati Bengals, the Bills and Colts played to a 17–17 draw in week 9, Buffalo's first tie since
1968. The Bills would then lose five straight to end the season and finished 3–10–1, for fourth place in the
AFC East. Their Week 5 game against
the Miami Dolphins would start an era of futility during which the Bills would lose twenty consecutive games against the Dolphins. The Bills would not defeat the Dolphins at any point during the 1970s and next beat Miami in
1980. This would become known as "The Streak".
