Sean McDermott helped lead the Buffalo Bills to a 10-6 record in 2019.

Before the start of the season, Las Vegas experts had Buffalo’s win/loss total at 6.5 so it’s fair to say that McDermott and the Bills greatly exceeded expectations this season. After leading Buffalo to the playoffs for the second time in three years, McDermott is getting recognized for the job he performed this season.

McDermott has been named a finalist for the NFL Coach of the Year award. The award will be given out on Saturday night at the NFL Honors award show in Miami. McDermott is expected to be in attendance at the event. Vic Carucci of the Buffalo News was first to report McDermott being named a finalist for the award.

Buffalo improved their record from 6-10 in 2018 to 10-6 this season under McDermott. In three seasons with the Bills, McDermott has a 25-23 regular season record while holding an 0-2 record in the playoffs.
