Is the Bills-Steelers game irrelevant to AFC East Winner?

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

So am I correct that NE winning any one of their two remaining games gives them the AFCE?

Obviously beating BUF next week will do it, as that would guarantee NE the better record.

But if they lost to BUF and beat MIA they win the division, right? In the worst case they’d be tied with BUF in record and divisional record. But next is common opponents and I’ve read that NE has that locked up.

Correct.
