ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (WIVB) — The Buffalo Bills are back-to-back AFC East Champions after toppling the NY Jets 27-10 in the regular season finale. It was the first time the Bills won the division title at home since 1995. 

The Bills tallied four straight wins to round out the regular season. With the Cincinnati Bengals’ 21-16 loss to the Cleveland Browns, the Bills overtake the Bengals for the three seed in the playoffs with Sunday’s win. 

Aside from an opening drive touchdown from Josh Allen to Stefon Diggs, the Bills didn’t do anything too exciting offensively in the first half. Buffalo opted for two Tyler Bass field goals to take a 13-7 lead into the break after giving up a 40-yard touchdown in the second quarter. 

Diggs caught three passes in the first half to break Wes Welker’s NFL record of most catches in a players first two seasons with a new team. 

After back-to-back games without punting, Matt Haack struggled punting into the wind, most notably a shanked 7-yard punt in the third that the Jets turned into points with a field goal four plays later to bring the game within three. 

With a somewhat shaky offensive performance today, the Bills relied on outstanding play by the Buffalo defense, and they delivered. The Bills sacked Zach Wilson eight times, marking a new season high for Buffalo. On top of all the sacks, the Bills held the Jets to a total of 53-yards. 

Josh Allen finished 24 of 45 for 239 yards and two touchdowns. Devin Singletary had another good game for the Bills, taking 19 carries for 88 yards and touchdowns both on the ground and through the air. 

The Bills finish the regular season with an 11-6 record and await to see who they will play in the Wild Card Round at Highmark Stadium with the conclusion of tonight’s Sunday Night Football matchup between the Chargers and Raiders.
