  • He defended the franchise’s 1990s run of four straight Super Bowls, saying people undervalue how hard that was and that it will never happen again.
  • Buffalo lost the 2024 AFC Championship Game to the Chiefs, the second conference title game of McDermott’s tenure, after a fifth straight AFC East crown.
  • Recent roster moves include practice-squad additions of wide receiver Gabe Davis and defensive veterans Jordan Phillips and Jordan Poyer.
