Sunday’s 24-21 win over the Patriots was a big one for the Bills and head coach Sean McDermott.
Buffalo improved to 6-2 on the year and are three games up on the Patriots in the loss column. And then it was McDermott’s first ever win against Bill Belichick and the Patriots.
Speaking to reporters after the game, McDermott said it was “emotional.”
“It gets me emotional,” McDermott said. “I try to go through it one day a time, process, process, process, but we know what this game means to our fanbase. We wish they could have been in the building to experience it. It would have been crazy, I’m sure. I hope everyone at home enjoyed it.
“For myself, you work hard. You try to be consistent through the weeks and that’s important. This is an emotional win for our entire city. A lot has gone into this to get us where we are. There’s still a lot of work to be done and we need to get better as a football team. … I’m going to go home tonight and take an hour or two to enjoy this with my family.”
The 2-5 Patriots will take on the Jets next week, while the Bills will host Seattle.
