Where does AFC East rank among NFL divisions in 2025?

The Buffalo Bills have been the class of the AFC East, winning the last five-straight divisional titles.

However, the rest of the group has been living on hopes and dreams.

The New Jets, Miami Dolphins and New England Patriots are all hopeful heading into 2025 but the whole trio is banking on potential.

For CBS Sports, that’s not enough stock for their NFL division rankings.

In ranking divisions head-to-head, the AFC East only finished as the sixth-best out of the league’s eight.

CBS Sports‘ breakdown on the AFC East can be found below:

This division is powered by the Buffalo Bills, who have won the division five consecutive years and are one of the best teams in the NFL. Buffalo has carried a division that was weighed down by the rebuilding New England Patriots and the annual failures of the New York Jets. The Miami Dolphins are competitive, but can’t seem to get over the hump.

The Patriots are still rebuilding under new coach Mike Vrabel, but appear to be on the right track. The same can be said with the Jets under rookie coach Aaron Glenn. The division is still improving, but appears to be on the upswing. Buffalo still is one of the best teams in the league, reaching the AFC Championship in what was supposed to be a “down” year in 2024.
