Bills Clinch AFC East Title for First Time in 25 Years

The Buffalo Bills beat the Denver Broncos, 48-19, clinching its first AFC East title in 25 years, which was before quarterback Josh Allen was born (May 21, 1996) and head coach Sean McDermott was still playing defensive back in college.

The 1995 team featured Jim Kelly, Thurman Thomas, Andre Reed and Bruce Smith, who all led the Bills to a 10-6 record and an AFC East title—their sixth in eight years.

Then came the title drought.

The Bills are now 11-3 this season after Saturday night's victory. Allen led the way with 359 passing yards and four total touchdowns, two passing and two rushing.
