Everything about The Afc East totally explained
The
AFC East is a division of the
National Football League's
American Football Conference. It has four members:
Buffalo Bills,
Miami Dolphins,
New England Patriots, and
New York Jets. They are all former members of the
American Football League (AFL).
The division has its roots in the AFL's Eastern Division, which featured all of the above teams as well as the
Houston Oilers. The division was absorbed nearly intact with the
AFL-NFL Merger in 1970, but Houston was removed and replaced by the closer
Baltimore Colts. Despite relocating to
Indianapolis, Indiana in 1984, the Colts continued to play in the AFC East until the 2002 re-alignment when they were moved to the
AFC South.
Although
Miami is farther south than the home cities of the other three teams, all of which are in the
Northeast, all four AFC East teams have historical rivalries among them, dating from their years in the AFL during the 1960s. None of the AFC East teams play within the central city of their metropolitan area. The Patriots play in the
Boston suburb of
Foxborough, Massachusetts, the Jets play in
East Rutherford, New Jersey, the Dolphins play in
Miami Gardens, Florida and the Bills play 7 games in
Orchard Park, New York and 1 in
Toronto, Ontario.
