The AFC East winner will be determined when the Buffalo Bills play the Miami Dolphins in Week 18 of the 2023–2024 NFL regular season.
It appeared as though the Bills were eliminated from contention for the divisional title a few weeks ago. After four straight victories, they now rank among the favorites to play in the Super Bowl.
The Bills can secure a postseason berth if they defeat the Dolphins on Sunday Night Football, even if they haven't yet secured a place with a 10-6 record.

Even if they lose, they can still advance to the postseason if the Pittsburgh Steelers or Jacksonville Jaguars, respectively, fall to the Baltimore Ravens and Tennessee Titans.
In Week 16, the Dolphins defeated the Dallas Cowboys 22–20 to secure a spot in the playoffs. They are now entirely focused on earning the divisional crown, which they can accomplish if they can defeat the Buffalo Bills.
