Sean McDermott remains perfect coming off a bye week

The Buffalo Bills (5-2) got back in the win column thanks to a 26-11 victory over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday at Highmark Stadium, and the win over Miami also extended head coach Sean McDermott’s record coming off a bye week to a perfect 5-0 in his five seasons leading the Bills.

What is the secret to McDermott getting his teams to play solid football following their week off?

In the past, McDermott has gone on the record stating that current Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid—who employed McDermott as his defensive coordinator with the Philadelphia Eagles—played a role in teaching McDermott how to treat his players and coaches during the bye week.
