Where Bills sit in AFC East, playoff picture after Week 17 win/loss vs. Eagles

The Buffalo Bills suffered a brutal home loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 17, as Sean McDermott's squad fell flat in a potential Super Bowl preview.

Buffalo's offense played its worst game of the season on Sunday, scoring just six points and struggling to sustain drives. The Bills didn't get on the board until the 5:11 minute mark in the fourth quarter.

With their loss to Philadelphia, Buffalo dropped to 11-5, and their hopes of winning another AFC East title are dead.

AFC East standings

1. New England Patriots (13-3)

2. Buffalo Bills (11-5)

3. Miami Dolphins (7-9)

4. New York Jets (3-13)

The New England Patriots are back on top in the AFC East. New England is guaranteed to finish with a better record than Buffalo, so there is no path for the Bills to win the division.

Missing out on the AFC East crown means Buffalo will have to go on the road in the wild-card round.
