  • The 1978 Buffalo Bills season was the franchise's 9th season in the National Football League, and the 19th overall. The Bills were coming off a season in which they only won three games, making 1978 a slight improvement. Head coach Chuck Knox began his first season with the team, having coached the Los Angeles Rams for the previous five seasons. It was also Buffalo's first season after the departure of star running back O. J. Simpson, who was traded to San Francisco for five draft picks in the offseason. The Bills offense acquired a pair of weapons for quarterback Joe Ferguson: wide receiver Frank Lewis, who had spent the previous 7 seasons in Pittsburgh, and rookie running back Terry Miller, who ended the season with over 1,000 yards. The 1978 Bills' run defense allowed an NFL record 3,228 rushing yards; the 677 rushing attempts the Bills faced in 1978 is also an NFL record. Oddly, the Bills were first in the league in yards allowed on pass defense, giving up only 1,960 yards through the air. (en)
  • La stagione 1978 dei Buffalo Bills è stata la nona della franchigia nella National Football League, la 19ª complessiva. Con Chuck Knox come nuovo capo-allenatore la squadra ebbe un record di 5-11, classificandosi quarta nella AFC East Division e mancando l'accesso ai playoff per il quarto anno consecutivo. Questa fu la prima stagione per Buffalo senza la sua stella O.J. Simpson, scambiato con i San Francisco 49ers per cinque scelte del draft. La difesa dei Bills del 1978 concesse un record di 3.228 yard su corsa; anche i 677 tentativi di corsa che la squadra affrontò furono un record. Anche la difesa sui passaggi fu la peggiore della lega, concedendo 1.960 yard. (it)
