caption_attribution_description: English: During the pre-game honors, Quarterback Drew Bledsoe of the Buffalo Bills football team, meets with family members of deceased Iraqi war personnel at Niagara Falls, New York, on September 7th, 2003.
context_page_description: The 2003 Buffalo Bills season was their 44th in the league. The team failed to improve upon their previous season's output of 8–8, and finished at 6–10. The team missed the playoffs for the fourth consecutive season.
  The Bills started the season strong, opening the season with a dominating 31–0 blowout of the New England Patriots. It was their largest margin of victory in a season opener since 1992, and their first regular-season shutout in four years. The Bills' second game was a convincing three-touchdown win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. But Buffalo lost seven of their next nine games and finished the season with three consecutive losses. The Bills' final game of the season was a 31–0 shutout loss to the New England Patriots – the reverse of the score by which the Bills beat New England in Week One.
  Head coach Gregg Williams's contract was not renewed after the 2003 season.
  Van Miller, the team's longtime play-by-play announcer, announced his retirement after week 2 of the season; his retirement took effect at the end of the season.
