The Buffalo Bills beat the Denver Broncos, 48-19, clinching its first AFC East title in 25 years, which was before quarterback Josh Allen was born (May 21, 1996) and head coach Sean McDermott was still playing defensive back in college.
The 1995 team featured Jim Kelly, Thurman Thomas, Andre Reed and Bruce Smith, who all led the Bills to a 10-6 record and an AFC East title their sixth in eight years.
Then came the title drought.
The Bills are now 11-3 this season after Saturday night s victory. Allen led the way with 359 passing yards and four total touchdowns, two passing and two rushing. The 24-year-old has tallied 39 touchdowns so far this season, a franchise record.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) Mary Wilson is taken aback by how many people have begun noticing the clutch, emblazoned with the Bills’ charging buffalo logo, she carries while running errands from her winter home in Florida.
“I’m not trying to advertise or anything, but it’s like `Oh, you’re a Bills fan. Your team’s doing so great,’” she told The Associated Press by phone. “I’m so popular now because I’m a Bills fan.”
Some might not realize how Wilson’s connections to the Bills go far deeper.

Let’s look at some of the highlights from a successful weekend in Cowboy Country.
Without Tylan Wallace and Chuba Hubbard, Mike Gundy had to rely on other playmakers to step up one a seasoned vet, the other a true freshman seeing his first action as a featured back.

Dominic Richardson’s Coming Out Party
The Cowboys’ rookie RB recorded the second-best rushing game by a true freshman (169 yards) behind only all-time Cowboy rusher Thurman Thomas.
Richardson had too many highlights to list, but these were a couple of my favorite runs.
