Buffalo Bills OC Ken Dorsey says he'll learn from meltdown in coaching box after loss
BUFFALO, N.Y. — A day after Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey's emotional reaction to the his team's 21-19 loss to the Miami Dolphins went viral, he said that he would «learn from» his response and «correct» it moving forward.
The Bills (2-1) suffered their first loss of the year in Miami despite having the ball at their own 23-yard line down two points with 1:33 remaining in the game. Time, however, ran off the clock when quarterback Josh Allen connected with wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie, who appeared to have the opportunity to run out of bounds but said after the game he was trying to reach kicker Tyler Bass' range and pick up yardage when he was tackled.
«If I could take it back,» McKenzie said, «I would probably just go up field, get down, put it on the hash myself and live to fight another down.»
After time expired, Dorsey was shown on the CBS broadcast slamming his headset, hat and tablet into the desk and crumpling the papers in front of him.
«I'm up in the box, I'm watching my guys down there just give us everything they possibly have in 'em with effort and from start to finish, playing 90 something snaps in the game,» Dorsey said Monday. «And it was a playoff atmosphere, a lot of credit to the Miami Dolphins, and obviously, we weren't on the winning end of it, so it's frustrating that I reacted that way and, obviously, that's something that I'm definitely gonna learn from.
»And I don't ever want to take the passion out of the game, we're all on this to win football games obviously for the Bills, for our fans, and we're gonna give them everything we got, but it's something I'm gonna learn from and make sure let's correct moving forward."
Dorsey is in his first season as an offensive coordinator
