Sean McDermott went all out to win today’s match! But it didn’t go well, as predicted. Today, the Buffalo Bills confronted the Kansas City Chiefs at Highmark Stadium and left with utter heartbreak. Bills lost to the Chiefs with a 27-24 scoreline, shattering Bills’ dream to clinch the AFC championship berth. What drew more attention in the game was Damar Hamlin’s fake punt attempt when the Bills had no option left. Unfortunately, it did not turn out as expected.

Hamlin made an impressive comeback after his cardiovascular condition in a short time. But Bill McDermott failed to use his full potential and turned a little aggressive with his punt. Moreover, amidst this buzz surrounding the NFL realm, the head coach revealed the proper reason for this move.

Sean McDermott explained the reason!

In a recent post-game conference, Bill’s head coach Sean McDermott discussed matters related to the match. However, in the middle of the conversation, the interviewer asked about his intention behind Damar Hamlin’s fake punt attempt. While shedding light on the reason, the head coach said, “I just felt like we’re having a hard time stopping him, and they were up three at that time. I believe it wasn’t, um, wanted to be aggressive; you know you only get one chance, so I wanted to be aggressive. Obviously, it didn’t work. But now it’s my decision, and you live with it.”

With 12:57 to play in the fourth quarter,  McDermott chose to use safety Damar Hamlin for a fake punt on 4th and 5 at Buffalo’s 30-yard line. However, Hamlin gained two yards on the carry and was stopped short of the first down. It was the Chiefs’ defense that was hard on the Bills today. Moreover, the Bills relied more on a rushing attack today, which showed a brighter outcome in the first half.

Furthermore, Josh Allen’s 124 rushing yards and a pair of touchdowns contributed to the Bills’ lead in the first half. But in the last quarter, the team’s placekicker Tyler Bass missed a crucial 44-yard field goal, leading to the team’s loss. The Bills quarterback expressed displeasure with his remark, stating, “Sucks. Losing sucks.” He further added that losing anyone at home seemed disheartening.

Nevertheless, McDermott’s assertiveness is justified, given the coaching intensity this season.

Will the Bills fire McDermott?

This season, they have created uncertainty in the lives of NFL coaches. They were starting with the Patriots’ backbone, Bill Belichick. Then, the Chargers also dismissed Bradon Staley. But considering today’s outcome, uncertainty might also loom around McDermott. With today’s defeat against the Chiefs, the Bills have lost three straight divisional-round games. However, the head coach had quite incredible records. In seven games, he has made six playoff appearances.

But some NFL insiders claimed his job was in danger. One such instance is Mike Florio’s comment. Florio said, “I think Sean McDermott is in danger of being fired. While some even claimed that there was no chance of his dismissal, Tim Graham of the Athletic claimed that the sources said there was “zero chance” of McDermott’s dismissal.
