‘Brinson’s simulation unpacked quite a bit of good news for the Bills. First, the team took the AFC East with a 9-7 record. The New England Patriots, winners of the division for the past 10 years, dropped to second with a 7-9 season and missed the playoffs altogether. The Jets went 5-11 and the Dolphins brought up the rear in the division with a 2-13-1 record. As if that’s not enough to make Bills fans rejoice, the simulation also saw Patriots QB Tom Brady retire and Jets head coach Adam Gase get fired after just one season in New York.’
