The Buffalo Bills claimed the AFC East title for the first time since 1995 after a 48-19 thrashing of the Denver Broncos on Saturday.

Josh Allen starred at Sports Authority Field as the Bills improved to 11-3 to secure the division for the first time in 25 years.

The Bills quarterback was 28 of 40 for 359 yards and two touchdowns, while he also rushed for two TDs.

Stefon Diggs had 147 receiving yards and Cole Beasley had 112, with Allen's touchdown passes thrown to Dawson Knox and Jake Kumerow.

Allen joined Cam Newton and Daunte Culpepper as the only players in NFL history with 60-plus passing TDs and 20-plus rushing TDs in their first 45 career games, as per NFL Research.

The Bills look primed to win a playoff game for the first time since 1995, having lost their previous six.

The Broncos, meanwhile, fell to 5-9 and were officially eliminated from playoff contention.
