McDermott and Beane: Leaders Of Buffalo Bills

The cup is the current milestone in Bills’ turnaround under McDermott and Beane who has taken the club to the berth of playoffs in 3 out of the first 4 seasons. Both McDermott and Beane received contract extensions of multiyear in August. Beane is grateful for taking his job and getting the opportunity of leading the club to relevance. Beane said that the team and community had a major tradition in the early 90s and late 80s following which the club fell to a lower level in 2000 when Sean and Beane got into the club. This was a huge opportunity for them to lead a franchise that had a decorative tradition and a huge fan base.

Beasley who rushed 112 yards and caught 8 passes has set his career-high in receptions and yards but needs only fifty yards for reaching his 1st 1000-yard in one season in his entire career.

Epenesa, Andre Roberts, and Diggs.
