"Over the last five years, at this point in the season, the AFC East had been long locked up by the Bills, primarily due to the complete lack of competition in the division after Tom Brady's departure. The Patriots are a team that wanted to change that this year and did the work to make it happen, leading them to a 13-3 record after a blowout win over the Jets on Sunday."
"From the beginning of his tenure earlier this year, Mike Vrabel made it clear the Patriots' ultimate goal for the 2025 season was to win the division. Based on the predictions made by analysts and fans leading into Week 1, that didn't seem possible, but they defied the odds and went on a 10-game win streak to put them atop the AFC."
The New England Patriots clinched the 2025 AFC East after the Buffalo Bills lost 13-12 to the Philadelphia Eagles. The Patriots improved to 13-3 following a blowout win over the Jets and built a 10-game win streak that propelled them to the top of the conference. Mike Vrabel set winning the division as the season goal upon taking the job. The Patriots split the season series with Buffalo and won key road games at Baltimore and New York. The team now focuses on a home game against the Miami Dolphins and the possibility of earning the No. 1 seed depending on how the Broncos fare in Week 18 against the Chargers.
