‘“I 100% understand. I get it, and I understand,” McDermott said. “This is not an easy situation. And I, you know, it’s the hardest part for us is I’m a football coach, I’m not an investigator. And I only, we only have so much information at this point. So, we’re doing the best job we can with what we have or don’t have, mostly in this case.”’

Bills Mailbag: Has Sean McDermott lost the Bills' locker room?
‘I don’t believe that has happened yet, but McDermott does run that risk if the season gets away from him and the team misses the playoffs. You referenced Dorsey, and that is a good example of just how fast it can happen. The Bills’ offensive players were passionate in their public support of the former offensive coordinator … until they weren’t. There was a noticeable change in tone after the loss to Cincinnati, and Dorsey coached in just one more game after that. The players know how much they’ve underachieved this season, but they’ve been in every game. If things go bad down the stretch and the losses start to get uglier, McDermott does run the risk of losing the room.’

Can Buffalo Bills rally around Sean McDermott in must-win game vs. Chiefs?
‘“Everyone is 100% behind Sean,” Beane said. “Everyone is not focused on the previous 12 games. I know we are 6-6. Everyone is truly focused … I was out there for every bit of that (Friday) practice. And just to watch that and see it. The guys are going to rally. There are two things you can do. You can divide, or you can rally. And I expect this team to rally.”’

‘The Bills have earned two consecutive regular-season wins over the Chiefs and are in dire need of a third as they hope to keep pace with several other teams vying for a spot in the playoffs. Per ESPN, entering Week 14, the Bills had a 21% chance to advance to the postseason. With the Pittsburgh Steelers’ loss to the New England Patriots on Thursday night, those odds improved.
