"When it was clear that Tom Brady was nearing the end of his career, it was obvious that the Buffalo Bills were counting the days until they hoped to take over the division that had been dominated by the New England Patriots for the last two decades. That dream became a reality when the quarterback left the team in 2020, leading to the Bills' dominance in the AFC East for the past five seasons."
"Their championship window was wide open, but just like history repeats itself, the Bills were unable to accomplish much of anything during that time, despite the collapse of their immediate foes, most importantly, the Patriots. Although they've inched closer to the Super Bowl, it still looks like the lights are too bright for the historically losing franchise, and now they're scrambling because the Patriots are well on their way to winning the division far sooner than the division hoped."
Tom Brady's departure opened the AFC East for Buffalo, and the Bills dominated the division from 2020 onward. The Bills reached closer to a Super Bowl but failed to secure a championship, despite rivals' collapses. The Patriots have regained momentum and threaten to reclaim the division, contributing to a sense of panic in Buffalo amid recent losses and injuries. Fans are increasingly resigned to losing the divisional crown as Buffalo struggles in key primetime games. With five regular-season games remaining, the Bills face competition for the AFC East and must reverse late-season slide to protect their title.
