Following a narrow victory against the New England Patriots, Buffalo Bills coach Sean McDermott steered clear of a potentially controversial analogy during a press conference. This comes after an incident last year where McDermott used the 9/11 terrorists as an example of teamwork, a comparison he later regretted. The Bills, despite being expected to dominate the Patriots, struggled for much of the game, ultimately securing a 24-21 win thanks to a mistake by Patriots rookie quarterback Drake Maye. This win followed a more convincing performance against the Detroit Lions the previous week. McDermott, when questioned about the team's first-half struggles, humorously alluded to an airplane analogy but decided against elaborating, stating, "Um, let’s see, I was about to use an airplane flying analogy but I’ll stay away from that." The Bills remain a top AFC contender and were responsible for the Kansas City Chiefs' only loss this season.
