AFC Notes: Aaron Glenn, Sean McDermott, Bills, Jets, Patriots

Bills GM Brandon Beane on the team’s outside cornerback position: “That’s one of the positions we’ll look at and evaluate. … We’ve got a lot of work to do (when it comes to) where to allocate resources.” (Jay Skurski)
Buffalo HC Sean McDermott what it takes to be the best after coming up short against Kansas City in the AFC Title game: “You need 2 to 3 difference makers on each side of the ball if you want to have a chance to get to the Super Bowl. I’m not saying whether we have them or not, but generally speaking you need 2 to 3 on offense & defense.” (Chris Brown)
McDermott said he prepared the team to be ready to fight through officiating calls that might not go their way prior to the meeting versus the Chiefs: “We went into the game and one of my messages to the team, and this happens from time to time, is you’re going to have to — you’re not going to get calls. We’re not going to get calls. And I think just when you prepare a team, you prepare them ahead of time, mentally, for this is the way it’s going down. And you live with that. That’s not the reason why we lost.” (Joe Schad)
