AFC East foes collide in this week’s iteration of “Sunday Night Football.”
The Buffalo Bills and New England Patriots have represented the class of the division for the better part of the past 25 years. In fact, the pair have won 22 of the last 23 division titles between them.
They look slated to compete for the crown once more in 2025. Josh Allen (70.2% passing, 964 yards, seven touchdowns to one interception) looks well-equipped to contend for another MVP award. Perhaps Drake Maye (74% passing, 988 yards, seven touchdowns to two interceptions) could join him.
Between Allen and Maye, two of the league’s finest passers will be on display under the lights. Those watching — both in the stands and on television sets across the world — will not be complaining.
