MONDAY SPORTS: BEASTS OF THE EAST, HOCKEY ROUND-UP

NFL

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Josh Allen walked toward the thousands of Bills fans who made their way to South Florida for the weekend, waving his arms as they showered him with postgame cheers.

It felt like home.

And that’s where surging Buffalo will be next weekend. The Bills are AFC East champions for the fourth straight season and the No. 2 seed in the AFC playoffs.

“What a resilient group,” said Allen, who threw a go-ahead touchdown pass to Dawson Knox midway through the fourth quarter to rally Buffalo past the Miami Dolphins 21-14 on Sunday night.

Miami, which made the playoffs with its Week 16 win over Dallas, fell to the sixth seed and will play at AFC West champion Kansas City on Saturday night.

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — Mark Scheifele scored twice, Connor Hellebuyck stopped 15 shots and the Winnipeg Jets took the outright National Hockey League points lead, beating the Arizona Coyotes 6-2 on Sunday night to extended their points streak to 12 games.
