Sean McDermott Confirms Stance on Josh Allen’s Mistake After Bills QB Addresses Failed Play
With only five seconds remaining on the clock, the Buffalo Bills found themselves holding onto one final moment of hope against the Philadelphia Eagles in a tense Week 17 showdown, as quarterback Josh Allen rolled to his left and released a pass on a bold two point attempt toward Khalil Shakir waiting in the back of the end zone, a moment that felt suspended in time before the ball drifted just wide of its target, allowing Eagles fans inside Highmark Stadium to breathe a collective sigh of relief while Bills supporters stood frozen in disbelief as the Eagles secured a narrow 13–12 victory on the road, and in the aftermath of that dramatic ending, head coach Sean McDermott wasted no time addressing the decision and the outcome, firmly standing behind his quarterback and his call by stating that Allen is the best quarterback in the world and that he would choose him every single time to make that play, reinforcing the belief that shaped his choice to go for two instead of settling for a safer option away from home, explaining that his mindset was about being aggressive and trusting his leader with the ball when the game was on the line, a trust that has become deeply rooted within the walls of Highmark Stadium, while Allen himself embraced the moment with the same accountability, openly admitting that he simply missed the opportunity and should have delivered a better pass while moving left, offering no excuses and no deflection, only honesty, a response that may resonate with Bills Mafia even in disappointment, because while the result did not go their way, the confidence, transparency, and belief shown in that defining moment continue to shape the identity of this team and its leader.
