- The 1965 Buffalo Bills season was the team’s sixth season in the American Football League. Though not as statistically dominant as the previous season, the Bills won a second consecutive league championship. Although Buffalo's offense was in the middle of the pack in 1965, it was their dominant team defense that kept them atop the league's standings. Buffalo gave up only 226 points (16.1 per game), fewest in the AFL, and one point fewer than AFL Championship runner-up San Diego. The Bills' opportunistic defense led the league in interceptions, with 32, and gave up a league-low four rushing touchdowns all season. Between week 6 of the 1964 season, through week eight of the 1965 season, including two 1964 playoff games, the Bills' defense did not allow a touchdown by rushing, a Professional Football record that still stands. The Bills, who had led the AFL in points, rushing yards and total yards the previous season, suffered significantly after losing star running back Cookie Gilchrist in the offseason. Statistically, the Bills dropped to 6th (out of 8) in rushing yards, and 7th in passing yards. Still, they managed to finish 3rd in the AFL in points scored, with 313 (22.3 per game). The Bills' turnover ratio was +18, best in the AFL, and fourth best in AFL history. Buffalo's +87 point differential was second-best in the league in 1965. Seven Bills made the 1965 AFL All-Star team: safety George Saimes, cornerback Butch Byrd, linebacker Mike Stratton, defensive tackle Tom Sestak, guard Billy Shaw, kicker Pete Gogolak, and quarterback Jack Kemp.

- La stagione 1965 dei Buffalo Bills è stata la sesta della franchigia nell'American Football League. Sotto la direzione del capo-allenatore al quarto anno la squadra ebbe un record di 10-3-1, classificandosi prima nella AFL Eastern Division. I Bills si qualificarono così per la finale di campionato in cui batterono nuovamente i San Diego Chargers per 23-0, vincendo il loro secondo titolo consecutivo. L'attacco dei Bills, che perse la stella Cookie Gilchrist, fu solamente nella media ma fu la difesa a portare nuovamente la squadra alla vittoria del campionato, classificandosi prima nella AFL con 226 punti subiti (16,1 a partita). Tra la settimana 6 della stagione 1964 e la settimana 8 del 1965, incluse due gare di playoff nel 1964, la difesa dei Bills non concesse alcun touchdown su corsa, un record del football professionistico che resiste ancora oggi.
