Nearly eight years later, McDermott's Bills (10-2) are celebrating a fifth consecutive AFC East division title. Following the clinching victory over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday Night Football, the head coach put the achievement in perspective during his locker room speech.

In a 35-10 win over the San Francisco 49ers at home in Orchard Park, HC Sean McDermott's record coming out of the bye week remained perfect and the Buffalo Bills looked the part of a playoff contender.

The Bills sacked Purdy twice, Greg Rousseau getting one while the other was called a team sack because Purdy lost a fumble behind the line of scrimmage that was recovered by Rousseau. Damar Hamlin should have had an interception, but it was nullified by a ticky-tack holding call on Hamlin before he made the catch. It was a bad call.
