Sean McDermott Almost Dropped A 9/11 Analogy When Discussing Bills Performance vs Patriots

The Buffalo Bills avoided an upset on Sunday, rallying back from a 14-point deficit to beat the New England Patriots, 24-21, to improve to 12-3 on the season and kept them in the race for the top seed in the AFC.

During his media availability on Monday, when Bills coach Sean McDermott was asked about the team’s first-half display, he almost talked himself into trouble as he tried to think of an analogy to use:

Back in 2019, McDermott referenced the 9/11 hijackers as an example of teamwork during a meeting with his players. Sean McDermott said he regretted making the reference at a training camp session in 2019 and that he “immediately” said sorry to his team following the incident.

It’s nice to see McDermott has learned from his past mistakes.
