The 1971 Buffalo Bills season was the 12th season for the club and its second in the National Football League.
For the second time in four seasons, the Bills finished with only one victory. The Bills 1-13 record (a 0.071 winning percentage) remains the worst in franchise history. The team allowed 394 points, the most in franchise history for a 14-game season.
The season began in turmoil when coach John Rauch resigned, forcing pro personnel director Harvey Johnson to assume the position for the second time on an interim basis.[1]
Buffalo lost their first ten games of the season. They were held scoreless in four games; their minus-210 point differential is the worst in the team's history, and one of the forty worst point-differentials in NFL history.[2]
The Bills had a strong draft in 1971, selecting several players who would have long-term impact with the team.
