The All-America Football Conference (AAFC) team from Buffalo that bore the same moniker as the western frontiersman Buffalo Bill is whence the Bills got their name.

The Bills are the only NFL club with home games in New York, and a large portion of their fan base comes from that region. Terry and Kim Pegula, who bought the Bills in 2014 after Ralph Wilson’s passing, are the franchise’s owners.

James F. Dyson, who submitted an essay equating the team to a group of “Buffalo Bills,” won, per the team’s official website. For his contribution to football history, Dyson received $500.

Naturally, Dyson was alluding to “Buffalo Bill” Cody in his essay, a complex figure in American history. At the age of 15, Cody allegedly rode for the Pony Express, which marked the beginning of the tale of Buffalo Bill.
