The Buffalo Bills took the scenic route to their second-straight AFC East title.
In the end, the Bills (11-6) topped the New York Jets (4-13) by a 27-10 score. However, it wasn’t that close for most of the game.
Still, when it was all said and done, the national narrative was the truth: The Bills won the AFC East. That’s it. They are division champs.
With that, here is national reaction to the Bills’ win over the Jets in Week 18:

Is now the wrong time to point out the Jets once chose Sam Darnold over @JoshAllenQB?

Division champs for the 2nd year in a row. This @BuffaloBills team battled its ass off to get there — no small accomplishment.
Onto the playoffs. 4 wins to go.

Once a game Josh Allen throws a football that he has absolutely no intention on completing just to step on fools.. he throws it dang near out of the stadium i the run just to show off for his friends. #ArmArrogance

#Bills hired Sean McDermott 5 years ago & added Brandon Beane after 2017 draft. They've won 2 straight division titles and made playoffs 4 of 5 years. Is theirs a blueprint? No. (Where's the next Josh Allen?) But if you're smart — really smart — you can build a winner. Quickly.
