Sean McDermott claps back against questions against his character, backed by GM Brandon Beane

‘“I know who I am,” McDermott said. “I know how I try and do things. Am I without flaw? No, I’m not without flaw, and I say that humbly. I believe we try and do things right here. I doesn’t mean that everything we do is right. People are going to have their own opinions. I believe we’ve won a lot of games here since we’ve arrived and I’m confident in that.”’

Bills coach Sean McDermott cited 9/11 hijackers as an example of teamwork. Now he regrets it

‘“I thought it went as good as one could expect, as I could expect,” he said. “It was important for me to address the players that are new to us since 2019 and may not have been around that day, so that they understood that situation and how it unfolded. And that based on who I am and what they’ve seen, my hope in how I try to do things and how I handled that situation. So it went well. Their support was clear. And much appreciated.”’

Will Bills-Chiefs rivalry decide Buffalo’s playoff fate?

‘Per ESPN Analytics, the Bills enter Week 14 with the toughest remaining strength of schedule, starting with the game in Kansas City. The matchup will mark the sixth time the teams have met since 2020 and the fifth straight contest in Arrowhead Stadium. And if history is any guide, the game should be a memorable one.’

‘”I think Sean acknowledged that. I went into the team meeting yesterday, I think he talked to [the media] first, went into the team meeting and I thought it was very authentic. I thought the guys all saw that, felt that, and know Sean for who he is. I think you guys that have been around here some years know who Sean’s character is. I’ll stand by his character every day of the week.”‘

‘”They’ve played well at times, maybe not as productive as people would expect them to, but when you look at games they’re in every game. Again credit to Patrick Mahomes and Coach Reid and their ability to come back even when they’ve fallen behind and the few games they have.”‘
