What they're saying | NFL analysts react to Bills clinching their fifth consecutive AFC East title
‘”Six straight games, 30 plus points in a driving snowstorm. We’ve been saying this- When you get Superman, you don’t want to overuse him. And for years they didn’t have a home run, hitter at running back. Now they do… They’ve always had a great left tackle. They’ve rebuilt their offensive line. This is the best version of Buffalo, and I believe in the AFC they’ve sort of separated… Buffalo is built for this stuff… They’re going to win this division, as long as Josh Allen is in his prime, which is five more years… This is the year for Buffalo. They’re mostly healthy, they could get the number one seed, they’ve got a superstar quarterback, good front office, no chaos in coaching… This feels like the year for the Bills.”- Cowherd’

‘“We said it in the locker room: ‘This is not the finish line,’ ” he said. “There is still a lot of games where we can get better and roll into the playoffs.

Joe Brady watch: Bills powered up in wintry conditions vs. 49ers
‘The Bills bulked up with big personnel groupings on 68% of the offensive snaps in the win over San Francisco. It made perfect sense, given the snowy field conditions. The Bills used extra offensive lineman Alec Anderson as a jumbo tight end in a three-receiver formation with no traditional tight end on the field (10-plus personnel) on 10 plays. It worked. James Cook’s 65-yard touchdown run came out of that grouping. Offensive coordinator Joe Brady had run 10-plus personnel only three plays in the first 11 games of the season.’
