Sean McDermott knows how his comments about Bill Belichick back on Dec. 6 came off. And as he and I talked after the Bills-Patriots return match on Sunday, with Buffalo’s coach making his way to the busses, he wanted to make sure he was crystal clear in getting his point across this time—after things spiraled a little the last time, with his assertion that New England’s Week 13 win wasn’t about the Patriots’ icon.
He insisted he was never trying to take anything away from Belichick. In fact, it wasn’t hard to tell that these wins over New England mean more to McDermott because it’s Belichick.
