The first week of December is in the books within the AFC East, with two teams in the division getting wins. The Buffalo Bills made a comeback win against the Cincinnati Bengals, and the Miami Dolphins took down the New York Jets to stay in the playoff hunt. The New England Patriots had their bye this past week.
We have three different matchups in the division for fans to keep an eye on, including another battle between two enemies who already saw each other this season once.
Week 15 AFC East schedule
Buffalo Bills (9-4) @ New England Patriots (11-2)
1PM - CBS
The Patriots delivered the Bills their first loss of the season back in Week 5. They walked into Orchard Park, Drake Maye outplayed Josh Allen and the Patriots won 23-20 and now have a lead over the Bills in the AFC East. The Bills come into this game with a lot of pressure. They are down two games to the Patriots and don’t have the tiebreaker against them.
In their first matchup, Josh Allen and the offense fell apart at crucial times. Allen had two turnovers which included a redzone turnover that kept the Bills out of the endzone. He finished that game with a 48.9 QB rating. He now has the chance to walk into enemy territory and take down the Patriots in their own home.
New York Jets (3-10) @ Jacksonville Jaguars (9-4)
1PM - CBS
The Jets have officially been eliminated from the playoffs, but their season was long gone before this past week. They are heading into a rebuild with multiple first round picks in the next couple of drafts. New York was beaten down by the Dolphins this past Sunday, and they will take on another Florida team in the Jacksonville Jaguars, who beat the Colts by 17 points to take the lead in the AFC South.
Miami Dolphins (6-7) @ Pittsburgh Steelers (7-6)
8:15PM - ESPN
Since parting ways with Chris Grier, the Dolphins haven’t lost a game. They have ripped off four straight wins against the Bills, Commanders, Saints, and Jets. Now they will travel to Pittsburgh to take on the Steelers on Monday Night Football. Pittsburgh is coming off a tough hard-earned win over the Baltimore Ravens.
