McDermott guided the Bills to a 10-6 record this past season. It is the first time in two decades that the team has reached the double-digit victory total. For the second time in three years, Buffalo participated in post-season play. Prior to McDermott’s arrival, the Bills failed to reach the playoffs in 17 seasons.
Overall, McDermott carries a 25-23 with the team in the regular season. The team lost both of their Wild Card matchups under the coach, but largely surprising many in the national media by placing the Bills in the national spotlight for playoff football.
