The AFC East is not among the best divisions in football.
The Buffalo Bills ought to be fine with that statement.
If one was to consider the AFC East, as a whole, to be on the decline in recent memory, the Bills have nothing to do with that. Bleacher Report admits that much.
But B/R did recently rank NFL divisions and the AFC East lands as the second-worst in the league, ahead of only the NFC East. Here’s their breakdown on the Bills in this discussion.
The AFC East has a top-five squad in the Buffalo Bills with the Miami Dolphins possibly on the rise. Like the NFC East, it has multiple quarterback questions but with a much stronger contender in pole position.
Buffalo kept the core of its second-ranked offense together, adding wideout Emmanuel Sanders, and Brian Daboll is still the play-caller. The Bills should field an electric attack in another double-digit win season.
In rounding out the rest of the AFC East, B/R thinks the Patriots might compete for second place with the Dolphins… but the outlet still pegs the Jets a ways away from the top.
At the end of the day, all rankings on NFL divisions will surround the quarterback position. Without a doubt, Josh Allen gives the Bills any and all advantages until someone else proves otherwise in the AFC East.
Overall, B/R’s rankings have the NFC West and the best division in football with the AFC’s best division being the North in the second-place slot.
