ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — A new week has dawned with Sean McDermott still coaching the Buffalo Bills and, in turn, his team still afloat for a playoff spot.Whether or not it’s fair to suggest one game represents a referendum on the coach or his players’ support for him, it’s apparent that McDermott and the Bills persevered through a tumultuous week.What also became clear as the Bills hung on beat the Chiefs 20-17 at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday was how similar the coach and his team really are.On Friday, an emotional McDermott acknowledged his flaws as he apologized for a clumsy anecdote he shared with his players more than four years ago, when he credited the 9/11 hijackers for their near-perfect execution of an attack that left nearly 3,000 Americans dead. The story — revealed in a lengthy article citing numerous unnamed sources and posted on the Substack page of NFL writer Tyler Dunne — fueled a fresh round of criticism of McDermott by Bills fans.On Sunday, a team with...
