The Buffalo Bills have fired head coach Sean McDermott following their heartbreaking playoff exit.

The Bills endured multiple disappointing postseason runs under McDermott’s tenure as their HC. And they have decided to part ways in the wake of Saturday’s loss.

McDermott watched the Bills lose to the Denver Broncos in overtime, playing out to one of the most bizarre endings. A controversial interception sealed their fate, leaving him incredulous.

The 51-year-old tore into the referees after the loss, yet it’s done little to help his case.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, who cites a source, the team has since cut...

The San Francisco 49ers lost much more than just a playoff game this weekend. They also lost one of their most beloved figures.

Former 49ers safety Terrance ‘Chet’ Brooks just passed away. The 60-year-old died after a long bout with cancer.

A former standout at Texas A&M, Brooks made it to the league as an 11th-round pick all the way back in 1988. He wound up winning multiple championships and becoming an instrumental piece on a Super Bowl-winning defense:

“Brooks won two Super Bowl rings and made two interceptions in the 1989 postseason, including a pick of John Elway...

After missing the Super Bowl again in his eighth postseason appearance with the team, the Bills decided to move on from HC Sean McDermott following the Divisional Round.

The Bills will be a bit late to the coaching carousel, considering the Giants and Falcons have already hired replacements.

Connor Hughes says he wouldn’t be surprised if Buffalo promoted OC Joe Brady to head coach to replace McDermott. Hughes says the word last year was that Brady was “the guy in waiting.”

Brady has been getting interest from other teams with head coaching vacancies and completed an interview with the Ravens....

According to Adam Schefter, Bills HC Sean McDermott told his coaching staff after he was let go by the team today that he intends to continue coaching.

There are seven teams that still have vacancies, not including the Giants and Falcons who have made hires already (and obviously not including the Bills.)

Schefter says McDermott could emerge as a candidate for another team after his somewhat surprising arrival into the coaching cycle. He won nearly two-thirds of his games in Buffalo and helped rebuild the franchise into a perennial contender.

McDermott, 51, began his NFL coaching career with the Eagles...

The NFL refs made an awful mistake during the Los Angeles Rams-Carolina Panthers Wild Card Round game last week. To make the matter more peculiar? It was just brought to light.

Matthew Stafford and the Rams outlasted Bryce Young and the Panthers 34-31 in the Wild Card Round. Had Carolina won, there may have been more backlash against the NFL refs for making an inexcusable error during the game.

As every NFL fan knows, a team always kicks the ball off at its own 35-yard line. But for the start of the second half of the Panthers-Rams game? The ball...

The New England Patriots are back in the AFC Championship Game for the first time since 2018. The Patriots defeated the Houston Texans by a score of 28-16 on Sunday at Gillette Stadium.

This was a unique game that had Pats fans biting their nails for much of it, but one key play that turned the tide in New England’s favor was a second-quarter pick-6 by Marcus Jones, which put the Pats in front.

According to Patriots Communications, this was the first playoff pick-6 by a Patriots player since Asante Samuel had one in the 2006 AFC Championship game.

Jones...

In the wake of another disappointing playoff exit, the Bills are making a change on the sidelines. Sean McDermott is out, as first reported by Tom Pelissero, Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo of NFL Network.

General manager Brandon Beane will remain in place, Rapoport adds. He will help lead the search for McDermott’s replacement. Buffalo has now become the 10th team in the NFL to make a head coaching change during the 2026 offseason.

McDermott arrived in Buffalo in 2017. His tenure has been defined in large part by sustained success in the regular season, with the Bills reaching the...

CBS Sports’ Jonathan Jones reports the Bills are retaining GM Brandon Beane after firing HC Sean McDermott.

NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero adds Beane will help lead the team’s first coaching search since 2017.

Beane, 49, was the director of football operations for the Panthers from 2008-2014 and worked his way up to assistant GM in 2015.

The Bills hired Beane as their GM for the 2017 season and he’s remained in Buffalo ever since. He signed an extension through 2027 before the 2023 season.

Since taking the Bills’ job, Beane’s teams have produced a record of 98-50 over the course...

Remember the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 2025 season? Even though it just ended one week ago, it might as well be a decade. So much has happened since that it truly numbs the loss of Monday night’s playoff defeat and the twists and turns that took place over the course of the season. Frustrating as another one-and-done […]

Just when the Houston Texans thought things couldn’t get any worse, they most certainly did.

On Sunday, CJ Stroud had an even worse game than he did against the Steelers, and that’s saying something. Stroud’s turnover-prone performance on Sunday came a week after he threw an interception and had five fumbles.

He is the first quarterback to have five fumbles and five interceptions in a postseason since at least 1991. The Texans quarterback entered this year’s NFL playoffs regarded as one of the better signal-callers. No one thinks of him as that anymore. [Many fans pointed to his advice to...

The New England Patriots are off to the AFC Championship Game following their 28-16 win over the Houston Texans on Sunday.

New England’s defense was the star of the game, as the Patriots intercepted C.J. Stroud four times. It was a dominant performance from the defense, while the offense and Drake Maye struggled early on with turnovers of their own.

Yet, Patriots star receiver Stefon Diggs believes it is a good thing, as he believes the team learned a lesson.

“Yeah, 100 percent,” Diggs said postgame on Sunday on if the Patriots learned anything from the win. “I think we...

If you thought the head coach carousel was extra crazy this year with nine teams on the market, things just got a whole lot more hectic. In a shocking move, the Buffalo Bills fired longtime head coach Sean McDermott, per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero on X. The Bills fired Sean McDermott, sources tell The Insiders. […]
