The NFL announced Buffalo Bills owner Ralph Wilson died Tuesday. He was 95 years old.
Wilson was the last of the original AFL owners. He founded the Bills in 1959 for the start of the league.
The Bills moved to the NFL when the two leagues merged in 1970.
Wilson was named to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2009.
The Bills were AFL Champions in 1964 and 1965, and they won the AFC Championship four years straight from 1990 to 1993 under Wilson. He was the longest tenured NFL owner.
