Buffalo Bills players and general manager Brandon Beane came to the defense of head coach Sean McDermott after he came under fire over a 9/11 analogy he made in a team meeting a few years ago and for playing Von Miller despite his domestic violence arrest.

After the team’s 20-17 win over the Kansas City Chiefs, the Bills posted a video from their locker room showing McDermott’s victory speech. The players were loud.

"We got your back," some were heard saying.

Beane added, "We got this man’s back. Tough f---ing week. We got your f---ing back."

The team meeting in question came from a report in Tyler Dunne’s Go Long Substack. McDermott used a head-scratching analogy during training camp. He was reportedly trying to illustrate how the team could come together following a season in which they had lost in the AFC Championship.

Dunne, citing several sources, relayed what was said in the training camp meeting.

"He told the entire team they needed to come together," Dunne wrote of McDermott. "But then, sources on-hand say, he used a strange model: the terrorists on September 11, 2001. He cited the hijackers as a group of people who were all able to get on the same page to orchestrate attacks to perfection.
