Ralph Wilson Turns 95

Bills owner Ralph Wilson, Jr. celebrated his 95th birthday
 this Thursday.
Buffalo Bills Hall of Fame owner Ralph Wilson, Jr. celebrated his 95th birthday today.

Wilson was one of the founding owners of the American Football league, which eventually merged with the National Football League in 1970. The Detroit, Michigan native is the oldest owner in the NFL, and is the last AFL owner to still have his franchise in its original city.


Wilson has been unable to attend a game this season, stating that, "travel continues to be a challenge for me."

The Bills organization will try to give Mr. Wilson the best gift they can give, which is a win against their long-time division rival Miami Dolphins this Sunday.
