The Bills stunned fans around the league when they announced earlier this week that they had fired longtime head coach Sean McDermott after nine seasons at the helm. Although McDermott is largely responsible for the turnaround of the Buffalo franchise, the Bills never made it to the Super Bowl under his tutelage and fell short again when they lost to the Broncos in the divisional round last Sunday.
Speaking before the media for the first time since the firing, team owner Terry Pegula made clear that McDermott's exit was a direct result of this weekend's loss, a contest that essentially ended on a controversial interception call.
