Bills Fire Sean McDermott After Divisional Loss, Hire Joe Brady and Add 2 Veterans

Summary
Buffalo moved on from coach Sean McDermott after its AFC Divisional playoff loss to Denver, making the franchise's biggest offseason change despite another double-digit-win season.
Joe Brady takes over as a more offense-focused head coach, while the Bills added wide receiver DJ Moore and edge rusher Bradley Chubb to reshape the roster around quarterback Josh Allen.
The changes follow an uneven campaign in which Buffalo opened 4-0, suffered puzzling losses to Atlanta and New England, then fell to the Broncos in overtime in the playoffs.
Josh Allen still gives Buffalo a high floor—11 or more wins in every season since 2020—and the team is still viewed as a contender even with questions about its defensive upgrades and overall roster plan.
