Bills Reach 11-4 as CBS Highlights McDermott Eyewear Trend

A CBS telecast attributed McDermott’s move from glasses to contacts to family prodding.

Overview

  • Buffalo edged the Browns 23-20 in Week 16 to extend its win streak to four and move to 11-4.
  • A CBS on-air graphic showed the Bills at 3-3 when Sean McDermott wore glasses this season and 8-1 without after Sunday.
  • Sideline reporter Evan Washburn said McDermott’s son flagged fan chatter about the record and his wife encouraged a switch to contacts.
  • At least one outlet, Heavy, published a reversed version of the counts, reflecting conflicting secondary reporting of the graphic.
  • McDermott previously told ESPN he wore glasses out of necessity and struggled to adjust, offering context beyond the viral correlation.
