Sean McDermott might've fired shots at both the Bills and the Patriots during his postgame press conference Monday.
Buffalo's head coach definitely took a dig at Belichick, who led New England to a historically uneventful 14-10 victory at Highmark Stadium. However, in commenting on N'Keal Harry's first-quarter muffed punt, McDermott inadvertently threw Bills punt returners Isaiah McKenzie and Marquez Stevenson under the bus.
Both players were inactive Monday. Here's why, according to McDermott:
"The same reason that they turned it over on their punt return team -- I wasn't willing to do that. So, I wanted to put a guy back there that I trusted that was gonna make good decisions with the ball."
That led to this exchange between McKenzie and WKBW-TV's Matthew Bove:
The Bills borderline unraveled after losing to the Patriots. In addition to McDermott's remarks, safeties Micah Hyde and Jordan Poyer let their frustrations boil over during a testy back-and-forth with a reporter.
New England and Buffalo will meet again Dec. 28 at Gillette Stadium.
