3. Dolphins and Bills haven't had this happen since 1999
Regardless of who wins on Sunday, Buffalo and Miami will finish the regular season each having a winning record together for the first time since 1999.
Flashback to 1999 when the Bills went 11-5 and finished in second place in the AFC East. That year the Colts won the division for the last time before moving to the AFC South. Buffalo's quarterback Doug Flutie finished the year completing 264 passes for 3,171 yards and scored 19 touchdowns. Wide receiver Eric Moulds led the team with 994 receiving yards and seven touchdowns while running back Jonathan Linton led the backs with 695 rushing yards and five rushing touchdowns.
The Miami Dolphins finished that season 9-7 and third in the AFC East. Miami quarterback Dan Marino completed 204 passes for 2,448 yards and scored 12 touchdowns. Tony Martin led the wide receivers with 1,037 yards and five touchdowns.
Times have surely changed in the AFC East, but the Bills aren't crowning themselves kings just yet. The players have subscribed to not treating any win like it's bigger than another. Even after sweeping the Patriots for the first time since 1999, the Bills won't bask in it longer than 24 hours because Week 17 is on deck.
"It's continuing finding ways to get better, and that's what we're doing," Bills safety Jordan Poyer said. "We're not treating any game like it's bigger than the other. Just continuing to get better day in and day out, one day at a time."
