On Saturday the Bills’ season ended in devastating fashion at the hands of the Broncos in an OT thriller that left Josh Allen teary-eyed at the podium. Two days later, Buffalo is making a huge change.
On Monday, Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer reported the Bills had fired head coach Sean McDermott. McDermott had spent the last nine seasons at the helm in Buffalo and was a huge part of the franchise’s turnaround from perennial cellar-dweller to annual AFC powerhouse. But the Bills have struggled in the playoffs during McDermott’s tenure despite the presence of an MVP-caliber talent at quarterback. It seems Saturday’s loss, which eliminated Buffalo from a wide-open race for the Super Bowl crown, was the final straw.
