Bills' McDermott, Beane face new challenges in 8th season

INDIANAPOLIS -- Over the last seven seasons, the Buffalo Bills have developed into a team that is consistently competitive.

Since coach Sean McDermott was hired in 2017, and general manager Brandon Beane shortly after, the Bills won four division titles (2020-23), compiled the fourth-best winning percentage (64%) and made the playoffs six times. The decision to draft Josh Allen in the first round of the 2018 NFL draft helped change the direction of the organization.

What hasn't come together is taking the next step and reaching the Super Bowl. The Bills have made one AFC Championship Game during that stretch, losing to the Kansas City Chiefs on the road to end the 2020 season.
