About AFC East in brief
The American Football Conference – Eastern Division or AFC East is one of the four divisions of the National Football League. There are currently four teams that reside in the division: the Buffalo Bills ; the Miami Dolphins ; the New England Patriots ; and the New York Jets. Both perfect regular seasons in professional football since the adoption of a 14-game schedule in the inaugural AFL season and by the NFL in 1961 have been achieved by teams in this division. The division has been represented in 21 Super Bowls and won ten of them. The most recent appearance in the Super Bowl by an AFC East team was the Patriots victory in Super Bowl LIII.
All four AFC East teams have historical rivalries among them, dating from their years in the AFL during the 1960s. All of the teams are or were coached by a first or second generation member of the Bill Parcells coaching tree: the Patriots have Bill Belichick; the Dolphins had Tony Sparano; the Jets had Eric Mangini. The Bills have won 11 division titles, and the Jets have won four. 2020 was the first season since 2008 in which the Patriots did not win the AFC East.
