Patriots clinch AFC East, but the Bills make a statement of their own

They’re still the New England Patriots.

Everyone tired of seeing the Patriots crash their Super Bowl Sunday party wants them to go away. People tuned in Saturday hoping to see some sign from the Buffalo Bills that there would be a change in the AFC East.

Not yet. The Patriots might not have a vintage team, but they’re still 12-3 and AFC East champions for the 11th straight season. They clinched the division with a very hard-fought 24-17 win over the Bills on Saturday. They had to come back in the fourth quarter, but how many times have we seen that?
