The Buffalo Bills will not be running it back with Sean McDermott.
According to multiple reports, the team fired its head coach of the past nine seasons following the team's latest playoff failure, Buffalo losing in overtime Saturday to the Denver Broncos 33-30.
McDermott finishes his tenure with a 106-58 record, including postseason. However his team, despite the presence of 2024 league MVP Josh Allen, never reached the Super Bowl. Saturday's defeat in Denver followed a pattern of heartbreaking playoff losses that included two AFC championship game defeats to the Kansas City Chiefs.
A tearful Allen, who committed an uncharacteristic four turnovers in Saturday's loss, took the blame for the Bills' latest playoff failure, but McDermott was quick to come to his defense.
"It's not on (Allen)," said McDermott, whose team trailed 20-10 at halftime before Allen brought it back and nearly won the game in regulation.
