Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott was recently asked on the It's Always Game Day in Buffalo podcast hosted by Sal Capaccio and Matt Bove about what he looks for first when the NFL schedule is released.
As McDermott pointed out, he already knows who the Bills are playing, but what interests him most isn't so much the order of the games, it's the time between each game because that's how he sets up his practice schedule for the season, finding the spots where he'll have to drive the team a little harder, or spots when he needs to back off.
