Employing the K-Gun offense (also known as the red (read) gun offense, a shotgun variation of the run and shoot offense), known for its hurry-up shotgun formations, Kelly led one of the great NFL scoring juggernauts in the Buffalo Bills. Kelly led the Bills to four consecutive Super Bowls, from 1991 to 1994; however, each time the team lost. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2002 in his first year of eligibility.
