Where AFC East ranks in the sports world $-wise

BY NICK ST. DENIS

Forbes recently released its 2014 version of "The World's 50 most Valuable Sports Teams 2014," and one AFC East team made the top-10.

The New England Patriots were listed as No. 8, with a value of $1.8 billion.

Half-a-dozen spots behind the Patriots were the rival New York Jets at No. 14 with a value of $1.38 billion, and the Miami Dolphins and Buffalo Bills fell into the back half of the list at No. 29 ($1.074 billion) and No. 47 ($870 million), respectively.

The Dallas Cowboys led the NFL in the list ($2.3 billion) at No. 5 overall. Three soccer teams and the New York Yankees got the thing started.
