Sean McDermott: Buffalo is a city of winners

A comment made at a news conference in Baltimore last week caught the attention of Bills coach Sean McDermott and he pointed it out while speaking with reporters after Sunday’s 27-25 win over the Ravens.

While speaking with Ravens coach John Harbaugh, Baltimore radio host Jerry Coleman said Bills fans don’t like him because he refers to Buffalo as a “city of losers.” Harbaugh offered no response as others in the room laughed at the characterization and McDermott was asked Sunday if he and the team took any inspiration from the comment.

“Yes, now it is City of winnersMcDermott said. “It really is. These people in this city are winners. I’ve only been here eight years, but I consider this my hometown. This place is different and the people here are different and they deserve more than whoever said that about them.”

Two more wins would make the Bills Super Bowl champions for the first time in franchise history. This may not put an end to shooting from other cities, but it will force them to come up with another line next time.
