Sean McDermott was the victim of multiple controversial measurements during the Buffalo Bills’ season-ending loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in this past year’s AFC divisional round.
Despite this, McDermott isn’t fully in favor of the NFL adopting state-of-the-art technology to determine first downs.
The Buffalo Bills head coach discussed these topics during an interview with CBS Sports HQ from the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis.
McDermott also addressed the polarizing ‘Tush Push’ play and expressed his concerns regarding player safety, stating:
“My strong feeling is let’s ensure that what we are doing keeps our players healthy and safe… the physics of it scare me…”
He further elaborated:
“I’m a big believer in advancing the game, no doubt… however, keeping the human spirit of the game alive is crucial.”
Finally, McDermott expressed pride in his team’s achievements, especially for Josh Allen who recently won the league MVP but still feels the sting of their playoff loss.
