Bills Look To Take Control Again In Young, New-Look AFC East
‘The last time a non-Belichick coached team won consecutive AFC East titles was when the Patriots did it under Bill Parcells (1996) and Pete Carroll (’97). And the last time a team other than the Patriots finished first in the AFC East in back-to-back seasons: the 1988-91 Bills.’

Jerry Jones: “Buffalo has a special place”
‘Jones, one of the most influential owners in the National Football League, started by comparing the Bills to the Green Bay Packers, as far as their history and importance to the league. “Buffalo has a special place,” he said. “All of those AFL teams have a special place, just like Green Bay does. So to me, my wish would be that they work something out and stay there.”‘
