ESPN: the Bills Head Coach Reveals “Next Goal” Following AFC East Victory.

The Buffalo Bills have regained their position as Eastern monarchs. With a 10-2 record and a decisive victory over the San Francisco 49ers, the Bills have secured the division. Now, they are assured of another postseason appearance and another opportunity to capture that elusive first championship. However, the Bills aren’t quite content despite winning the division championship. They must actually be at the top in order to be the finest. With an 11-1 record with the Bills having their only defeat, the Kansas City Chiefs are presently ranked top in the AFC. The Bills’ next objective, according to head coach Sean McDermott, is to secure the #1 seed before the regular season ends. This was said following the team’s victory over the 49ers.

As reported by ESPN’s Alaina Getzenberg, McDermott stated, “It’s probably the next goal for us is to position ourselves the best we can,” “We have some influence over that, but not all of it. Therefore, it truly comes down to our weekly performance level and reaching the necessary level, which often puts you in a favorable position.

For the Bills, securing the first seed entails more than simply boasting. Each conference’s top seed will receive an automatic pass to the Divisional Round. For the league’s top seed, that is a crucial week of rest. Most teams undoubtedly benefit from that second bye week, despite the claims of some that it is a curse. Nevertheless, the Bills would be really proud to receive that top seed. Despite making it to the postseason seven times under McDermott, the Bills have never started as the top seed. Being the first seed might be the solution to Buffalo’s ongoing postseason issues.

To have a chance at the top seed, the Bills will have to continue to win and hope that the Chiefs falter in their last games. But Buffalo already has a rendezvous with destiny in the NFL playoffs, at the very least.
