Despite being 60 years old when he became the Bills' coach, Levy enjoyed a 12-year career in Buffalo that was highlighted by four consecutive AFC titles, six division titles and eight playoff appearances. Including the playoffs, Buffalo went 123-78 under Levy during his dozen years on the sideline.
