The Buffalo Bills have officially clinched their fifth consecutive AFC East title. Their dominant 35-10 victory over the San Francisco 49ers sealed the deal on Sunday Night Football. This marks their sixth straight playoff appearance.
Early Division Win Highlights Strong Season
With a 10-2 record, the Bills claimed the division earlier than any team has in 15 years. Miami’s loss to Green Bay on Thanksgiving gave Buffalo the opportunity to secure the title, which they didn’t waste.
Path to the Top Seed
The Bills are still chasing the AFC’s top seed. They hold a key tiebreaker over the Kansas City Chiefs, who lead the conference at 11-1. If Kansas City slips in the final stretch, Buffalo could gain home-field advantage.

Aiming for Postseason Glory
Buffalo’s biggest challenge remains the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs, reigning champions, aim to make history with a three-peat. A playoff rematch with Buffalo seems inevitable.
Led by Josh Allen, the Bills are determined to break past their postseason barriers. Their sights are firmly set on the Super Bowl.
