The Bantams held the nation's longest home winning streak in seasons (13) and 2nd longest in consecutive wins (53) through the 2014 season. The streak was broken on October 25, 2014 when the Bantams were defeated at "The Coop" by the Middlebury College Panthers by a score of 27-7.

Trinity has the third-highest number of victories of any Division III football program in New England and the second-best all-time winning percentage among NESCAC schools. The Bantams' recent history includes only one losing season in the past 25 years. The Trinity Football team is coached by Jeff Devanney (2005–present). Devanney follows in the footsteps of Chuck Priore (39-9 record), Dan Jessee, and Don Miller. Jessee compiled a 150-76-7 record from 1933 to 1966, and Miller followed with a 174-77-5 mark over the next 32 seasons. Miller retired after the 1998 season as the most successful coach in Trinity football history and the all-time most successful Division III coach in New England history.
