Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott is ready to learn some lessons from the team’s rare blowout loss.
The Bills fell behind early in Sunday’s 35-10 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, then tried to mount a second-half comeback before a failed trick play turned the momentum back to the Ravens. It was the first time in 43 games that the Bills lost by more than six points, the longest streak in NFL history.
After the game, McDermott shared a simple explanation of what went wrong.
“They outplayed us,” McDermott said.
Bills Learning From Their Mistakes
McDermott gave credit to the Ravens after the loss, saying they came prepared with a better gameplan. The Bills head coach vowed to learn from the team’s mistakes.
“They outcoached us, and we’ve got to identify the problems and get them fixed,” McDermott said.
McDermott also focused on the first play from scrimmage from the Ravens, an 87-yard touchdown run from running back Derrick Henry. The Bills head coach gave credit to the Ravens for drawing up a good play.
“Schemed up well, yes, because they executed and we really didn’t even touch the running back,” McDermott said. “They ran what we call ‘wham’ exactly our three-technique there. We’ve got to be in better position. I know we’ve done that before, so that’s one of the things.”
