The 1988 Buffalo Bills season was the franchise's 29th overall season as a football team and the 19th in the National Football League. The Bills ended a streak of four consecutive losing seasons by winning the AFC East; they finished the NFL's 1988 season with a record of twelve wins and four losses; it was the club's first winning season since 1981, its first 12-win season since the 1964 AFL championship season, and only the fifth double-digit win season in team history. The Bills were 8–0 at home for the first time in their franchise history. On the road, the Bills were 4–4. From an attendance standpoint, the franchise set a record for attendance with 631,818 fans. This was the first of four consecutive AFC East titles for the Bills. They started the season 11–1 before losing three of their final four games, costing them the top seed in the AFC, and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. It was Buffalo's first trip to the postseason since 1981. The Bills were the #2 seed in the AFC (behind #1 Cincinnati), giving the Bills their first home playoff game since the 1966 AFL Championship, and their first ever playoff game at Rich Stadium. The 1988 season would be the first of five AFC Championship game appearances over six seasons, and their only loss in the conference championship game. The 1988 season was the first for running back Thurman Thomas, nose tackle Jeff Wright, and linebacker Carlton Bailey. Thomas would rush for 881 yards, despite only carrying the ball 207 times (42.7% of total team carries by a running back) while sharing carries with Robb Riddick, Jamie Mueller and Ronnie Harmon. The Bills had a dominant defense in 1988: they gave up the fewest points (237) and the fewest total yards (4,578) in the AFC in 1988. The defensive unit was given the nickname "Blizzard Defense," alluding to Buffalo's harsh winters. Four Bills players made the All-Pro team in 1988: defensive end Bruce Smith, linebackers Shane Conlan and Cornelius Bennett, and kicker Scott Norwood. Head coach Marv Levy was named NFL Coach of the Year by The Sporting News and UPI.

La stagione 1988 dei Buffalo Bills è stata la 19ª della franchigia nella National Football League, la 29ª complessiva. La squadra interruppe una striscia di quattro stagioni con un record negativo vincendo la AFC East con un record di 12-4; fu la prima stagione vincente dal 1981 e la prima stagione con 12 vittorie dalla conquista del campionato AFL nel 1964. Fu solamente la quinta volta che il club terminò con un numero di vittorie in doppia cifra. Inoltre per la prima volta nella loro storia i Bills ebbero un record perfetto di 8-0 in casa. Dal punto di vista delle presenze, la franchigia stabilì un record con 631.818 tifosi. I Bills iniziarono la stagione con un record di 11–1 prima di perdere tre delle ultime quattro gare, perdendo così la possibilità di ottenere il miglior record della conference e il vantaggio del fattore campo in tutti i playoff. Fu la prima volta che Buffalo si qualificò per i playoff dal 1981. La squadra giocò la sua prima partita di playoff in casa dalla finale del campionato AFL del 1966 e la prima di sempre al Rich Stadium. La stagione 1988 fu la prima di una serie di cinque stagioni su sei in cui Buffalo raggiunse la finale della AFC e l'unica in cui venne sconfitta. La stagione 1988 fu la prima per il running back Thurman Thomas che corse per 881 yard malgrado l'avere portato il pallone solo 207 volte (il 42,7% delle volte) dividendo i possessi con , e Ronnie Harmon. I Bills ebbero una difesa dominante nel 1988, concedendo il minor numero di punti (237) e yard (4.578) della AFC. L'unità difensiva prese il soprannome di "Blizzard Defense", in riferimento ai rigidi inverni di Buffalo.
