Nearly eight years later, McDermott's Bills (10-2) are celebrating a fifth consecutive AFC East division title. Following the clinching victory over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday Night Football, the head coach put the achievement in perspective during his locker room speech.

In a 35-10 win over the San Francisco 49ers at home in Orchard Park, HC Sean McDermott's record coming out of the bye week remained perfect and the Buffalo Bills looked the part of a playoff contender.

The Bills wrapped up the AFC East on Sunday night, but they still have things to play for in the final five weeks of the regular season.
