Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott took the podium as his team enters the bye week, celebrating their 9-2 start—the franchise’s best through 11 games since 1992. Despite preseason skepticism about the team’s potential regression, McDermott praised the Bills’ resilience, player development, and unwavering culture as keys to their success.
Injury updates remain scarce, with players like WR Keon Coleman, OL Spencer Brown, TE Dalton Kincaid, and LB Matt Milano continuing rehab during the break. McDermott emphasized that their statuses will be clearer once practices resume next week.
Reflecting on the season, McDermott highlighted the importance of weathering early injuries and fostering young talent. He also pointed to midseason addition WR Amari Cooper’s remark about feeling “joy” in Sunday’s win over the Chiefs as a testament to the positive environment Buffalo has cultivated.
Defensive coordinator Bobby Babich offered glowing praise for linebacker Terrel Bernard, whose game-sealing interception against Patrick Mahomes solidified his role as a defensive leader. Bernard, recovering from an earlier injury, has delivered standout performances with 25 tackles, a sack, and two interceptions in his last three games.
With the Bills hitting their stride, can they maintain their momentum through the bye and secure a dominant playoff run? Stay tuned.
