The Buffalo Bills have come ever so close to making the Super Bowl, for the last few years. Buffalo hasn't been able to break that glass ceiling, though, and win the AFC Championship game. Bills coach Sean McDermott is trying to change that this season.

McDermott is opening up about something that is bothering him. He said he is tired of the national narrative that Buffalo is a loser, since the franchise lost four straight Super Bowls back in the early 1990s.

“Honestly, it pisses me off,” McDermott said, per WIVB TV. “Nobody is ever going to do that again…..people don't know this town. They don't know how hard it is to get to four straight Super Bowls. It will never happen again.”

The Bills lost the AFC title game during the 2024 season, to the Kansas City Chiefs. It was the second time that McDermott led the franchise to the AFC championship game in his tenure. Buffalo also won the AFC East division in 2024, for the fifth consecutive season.
