The Buffalo Bills began the season as one of the favorites to contend for a Super Bowl title, but it’s safe to say it’s been a rather disappointing season so far as the team heads into its bye week with just a 6-6 record. But head coach Sean McDermott still believes in his team.

During his postgame press conference after the team’s 37-34 overtime loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, Sean McDermott acknowledged that his team played well despite the loss and that he believes in the Bills going forward.

β€œThis is the league we are in,” McDermott said according to Pro Football Talk. β€œWe came in here, fought our [tails] off. We didn’t make enough [plays]. We didn’t do enough or make enough plays and do enough on the coaching end.

β€œAt the end of the day, there is a tough group of guys in that locker room. A tough group of coaches. We are a good football team and just came out on the short end here. There are no moral victories. Each and every one of us has to look at ourselves. Like I told you, that starts with me. That is what you do. That is what the best do, and I know our football team is a darn good football team.”

The Bills have now lost three of their last four games and are in danger of missing the postseason if they don’t improve down the stretch.
