For the first time in a long time, there was a new team at the top of the AFC East in 2020. The Buffalo Bills successfully took their first division title in 25 seasons, as they swept the field with a perfect 6-0 mark and advanced to the AFC title game in the playoffs.
Now in 2021, Buffalo goes from being the hunter to the hunted. Although their closest pursuer was the 10-win Miami Dolphins, the Bills blew them off the field in and 'win-and-in' game in Week 17 using mostly reserves in the second half of a 30-point beatdown.
Nevertheless, head coach Sean McDermott will be quick to remind his players that every year is different and some of Buffalo's division rivals have already gone to great lengths in free agency to close the gap between themselves and the defending AFC East champs.
