San Francisco 49ers running back Frank Gore knocks out opponent in his debut
professional boxing match; record stands at 1-0

Prithwiraj Gupta is an NFL author at EssentiallySports. He has completed his
Master's in History from Pune University. The contact aspect of the NFL made him
interested in the sport. Having played Rugby before, he discovered the thrill of
contact sports and has enthusiastically followed many similar sports from
different countries. He likes how a focus on power and speed affects the contact
zone in the NFL, leading to bigger hits than seen in other sports of its kind.
This interest is amplified by certain Rugby players trying their luck in the
NFL. He likes to look at the NFL from a rugby player's point of view, trying to
analyze the glaring and subtle similarities and differences between the two
sports. Apart from contact sports, he enjoys working out and reading books and
is a Hallyu fan.

<p style="text-align: center">The Buffalo Bills were founded in 1960 as a charter member of the American Football League (AFL) and joined the ranks of the NFL in 1970 following the NFL-AFL merger. They are the only NFL club that plays its home games in the state of New York. The franchise is owned by Terry and Kim Pegula who picked up the majority ownership tag following the death of the original owner Ralph Wilson back in 2014.</p>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-497552 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201230195043/buffalo.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1080" />
<p style="text-align: center">The franchise won two AFL championships back in 1964 and 1965, and these chips stand as the only major professional sports championships from a team representing Buffalo. Chiefly, the Bills found heightened success between 1990 and 1993 when they appeared in a record-setting four straight Super Bowls. However, they would go on to lose all four games.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">This unparalleled success was followed by a meaningful active playoff drought making them the last NFL franchise and the last in the four major leagues to qualify for a post-season in the 21<sup>st</sup> century. The club seems to have found its footing under Head Coach Sean McDermott however, the Bills still remain the only AFC East team to have never won a Super Bowl.</p>

<p style="text-align: center">The 2020 campaign of the Buffalo Bills was a resounding success as they improved on their 2019 record of 10-6 by finishing off the regular season with a 13-3 run placing 1st in the AFC East. The Bills beat the Colts 27-24 in the Wild Card Playoffs as well as the Divisional Round against the Baltimore Ravens 17-3.</p>
