ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Buffalo Bills players and general manager Brandon Beane offered their support for coach Sean McDermott on Friday, one day after the coach held a team meeting to address remarks referencing 9/11 that he made in training camp in 2019 and became public this week. «Obviously when you're in leadership positions, you've got a lot of people looking up to you, and none of us are perfect, OK,» said Beane, who is in his seventh season in Buffalo with McDermott after also working together for the Carolina Panthers. «I think Sean acknowledged that.
I went into the team meeting yesterday, I think he talked to [the media] first, went into the team meeting and I thought it was very authentic.
I thought the guys all saw that, felt that, and know Sean for who he is. I think you guys that have been around here some years know who Sean's character is.
I'll stand by his character every day of the week.» McDermott, who held the meeting with the team late Thursday, described the past day by saying, «Definitely gets your mind spinning, right.
