Sean McDermott becomes the 10th coach fired this season. He joins Mike Tomlin in getting fired after a playoff loss, but he is the only fired coach who won a playoff game.
The Buffalo Bills fired head coach Sean McDermott on Monday after another season that failed to end in a Super Bowl appearance, but the team promoted Brandon Beane to president of football operations.
"Sean has done an admiral job of leading our football team for the past 9 seasons," owner Terry Pegula said in a statement. "But I feel we are in need of a new structure within our leadership to give this organization the best opportunity to take our team to the next level. We owe that to our players and to Bills Mafia."
The loss to the Broncos continued the Bills' streak of not reaching the Super Bowl since losing four straight from 1990 to 1993. And it extended their record of the most wins in a seven-season span without a Super Bowl appearance, including playoffs (91).
Since 2019, the Bills have the most wins in a seven-season stretch without a Super Bowl appearance, including playoffs. The Bills became the fourth team in the Super Bowl era to win a playoff game in six straight seasons; the previous three all won Super Bowls in those spans.
