Odds are the Bills will lose to the Jags so they will have clinched by gametime Sunday night.
Reiss:
If the Patriots do clinch, they would tie the earliest division clinch since the NFL established the 16-game schedule in 1978. Three teams have clinched their division during the weekend of their 11th game since 1978 -- the 1985 Chicago Bears, the 1997 San Francisco 49ers and the 2004 Philadelphia Eagles.
If the Patriots win their fifth straight division crown, they would set a record for the most consecutive division championships in AFC East Division history.
