During a media conference on Tuesday, McDermott discussed what happened in the final 13 seconds of regulation while holding a three-point lead over the defending AFC champs. McDermott admitted that he watched the final 13 seconds of that game "a million times" and he added that he will "continue to watch it in my mind – and in my gut – for years."
"I watched it on video and I watched it over and over in my head a million times, in my stomach a million more," McDermott said during his end-of-season news conference. "It's my livelihood and I'm super competitive as well. I want the best for our football team and this organization and our fans, quite honestly. So I'll continue to watch it in my mind and in my gut for years ... but when we get to where we're trying to get to, I believe that'll make it that much more enjoyable in that moment."
Even though it was a brutal loss for the Bills, McDermott believes it will motivate the team heading into the 2022 season.
