Bills claim fourth-straight AFC East title in win vs. Dolphins
The Buffalo Bills have taken the AFC East once again.
In Week 18, the Bills (11-6) defeated the Miami Dolphins by a 21-14 final.
With the win, the Bills are the 2023 AFC East champions. It’s the fourth season in a row they have claimed the divisional title.
Thanks to a loss from the Jacksonville Jaguars earlier in the day, a playoff berth was already locked in.
But Buffalo and Miami’s game was put in the Sunday Night Football time slot because of the stakes and the Bills came out on top.

However, the win was anything but easy. The Bills started slow and quarterback Josh Allen turned the ball over three times. Allen put up huge stats, including more than 350 yards passing. But he’s going to want to fix that turnover problem before heading into the playoffs.
Speaking of, Buffalo’s next game is now set following the win. The Bills will host the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday at 1 p.m. at Highmark Stadium in the wild-card round.
In total, it’s the 14th time in franchise history the Bills have won the AFC East crown. Since Sean McDermott took over head coaching duties, the team has made the postseason in six of seven years.
