AFC East could be wide open with Jets, Dolphins and Patriots looking to end Bills’ 4-year reign

Associated Press  

Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills have sat atop the AFC East for four straight years. “It’s not that it’s wide open,” Jets coach Robert Saleh said. But the Jets’ once-stagnant offense should improve with a revamped offensive line and Mike Williams teaming with fellow wide receiver Garrett Wilson and running back Breece Hall as key playmakers. “The guys that we’ve brought in, the energy, the work effort or the work ethic and effort that they bring each and every day,” Allen said, “it’s been easy to get on the same page with these guys.” The defense took a hit during training camp when linebacker Matt Milano was lost indefinitely with a torn biceps. “I’ve learned a lot of principles here from Bill and being smart, tough and dependable is definitely something that I definitely think makes a good team,” Mayo said.
