The AFC East race is heating up in 2026, with Buffalo and New England locked in a tight battle for supremacy. The Bills, despite a coaching change and a new stadium, remain the favorites thanks to Josh Allen’s dominance and a slightly easier schedule. New England, led by Drake Maye and AJ Brown, are projected as runners-up but face a brutal slate that could derail their title hopes. Meanwhile, Miami’s rebuild is in full swing with Malik Willis at QB and a projected 3-4 win season, while the Jets aim for a defensive turnaround with Minkah Fitzpatrick and Demario Davis, hoping for 6-7 wins. The division’s future hinges on Buffalo’s stability and New England’s ability to overcome adversity.
