Bills close in on clinching 1st AFC East title in 25 years

FILE - In this Sept. 14, 2014, file photo, Mary Wilson, wife of late Buffalo Bills owner Ralph C. Wilson, holds a game ball for stadium construction workers as she gestures to the new renovations to the stadium before an NFL football game against the Miami Dolphins in Orchard Park, N.Y. Wilson is taken aback by how many people have begun noticing the clutch, emblazoned with the Bills' charging buffalo logo, she carries while running errands from her winter home in Florida. “I’m not trying to advertise or anything, but it’s like `Oh, you’re a Bills fan. Your team’s doing so great,‘” she told The Associated Press by phone. “I’m so popular now because I’m a Bills fan.” (AP Photo/Gary Wiepert, File)

FILE - In this Oct. 20, 2019, file photo, former Buffalo Bills quarterback Jim Kelly walks on the field before an NFL football game between the Bills and the Miami Dolphins in Orchard Park, N.Y. The Bills’ return to relevance gives rise to reflection from those who were part of the franchise’s heyday in the late 1980s and 1990s, during which Buffalo made — and lost — four consecutive Super Bowl appearances. “Way too long? Hah, 25 years? I would say it’s waaaaay, way, way past due,” Hall of Fame quarterback Kelly said of the last time Buffalo won the East. “Never in a million years did I think it would take 25 years to come back.” (AP Photo/Adrian Kraus, File)
