'I'm standing up for Buffalo': Bills HC Sean McDermott vents on interception ruling

[ASFN Admin]

Sean McDermott came to the defense of his players and vented his frustrations toward a perceived slight by the referees during the Buffalo Bills' divisional round loss to the Denver Broncos in the NFL playoffs.

The Bills coach targeted his postgame frustrations at the game's officials for their call of Broncos cornerback Ja'Quan McMillian's interception against quarterback Josh Allen.

The Bills' head coach expressed his belief that the play – which set up the Broncos' game-winning field goal moments later – should have either been ruled a catch or been the subject of a closer, "slowed down" look prior to the Broncos' ensuing offensive possession.

"I'm standing up for Buffalo, damn it," McDermott said after the game. "I'm standing up for us."
