Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott

Sean McDermott took the time to show his appreciation for and thank the members of the Bills organization and those within the community whose efforts ensured Monday’s game went off as planned. McDermott also noted how impactful it was having the full-throated support of Bills Mafia.

As expected, McDermott was asked about the team’s large amount of in-game injuries, to which he provided what little he knew immediately post-game while also reflecting on the play and leadership all season of linebacker Terrel Bernard. McDermott was also asked about linebacker A.J. Klein’s return and significant contributions, what he was thinking as Josh Allen ran for a 52-yard touchdown, plus the continued reliability and play making of wide receiver Khalil Shakir.

McDermott also spoke candidly throughout the interview, and shared a story of how the team adapted to get together during the state of emergency — and having to meet (and stretch) over zoom. To hear all this and more, check out McDermott’s full presser below.

Quarterback Josh Allen

Like McDermott, Josh Allen was sure to show his appreciation for the Bills’ organization and the community in helping to prepare the stadium ahead of Monday’s game.
