Sean McDermott, who guided the Buffalo Bills into the NFL playoffs for the first time since 1999, has signed a contract extension to remain as coach, the team announced Wednesday. McDermott's previous deal had two years remaining but his new contract is for six seasons and runs through 2025, according to multiple media reports. "Sean's leadership on and off the field has been nothing but genuine and transparent, qualities we appreciate as owners," Bills owner Kim Pegula said in a statement. "We will never forget how impressed we were during his first interview. Sean's attention to detail was apparent back then and his process driven approach has brought great stability to our organization." After missing the playoffs for 17 consecutive seasons, the Bills made it in 2017, losing their opener at Jacksonville in McDermott's first campaign as coach, and last year the Bills lost in the first round at Houston. js/dj
