For reasons unknown to me, I got to wondering if the Patriots' recent run of brilliance had made them the historic kings of the AFC East. Now, with three Super Bowl wins (the rest of the division has three combined -- Miami with two and the Jets with one) and six Super Bowl appearances (one more than Miami, with five, and two more than Buffalo, with four) that case is probably already made. But I wondered which team has won the most AFC East titles since the AFL-NFL merger.
Turns out New England still has work to do there. Here's the roster:
Miami: 12 (1971, 1972, 1973, 1974, 1979, 1981, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1992, 1994, 2000)
New England: 11 (1978, 1986, 1996, 1997, 2001, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007)
Buffalo: 7 (1980, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1993, 1995)
New York: 2 (1998, 2002)
Notes on a few other teams: Pittsburgh has won 18 division championships since the merger; San Francisco has 17; Dallas has 16; the Raiders have 12; the Colts have 11; Denver has 10.
