Sean McDermott Has Quite A Reversible Relationship With Joe Brady And Tom Brady

He also praised Joe Brady as a great coach and a good person who handles responsibilities well.
But Tom Brady wasn’t too fond of Bills head coach Sean McDermott’s decision late in the game against the Los Angeles Rams.
Brady is at his best with this clock management stuff. Dragging McDermott/Bills for that QB sneak.

With the Bills needing a touchdown, McDermott called for a quarterback sneak. Josh Allen failed to score on the goal line, and McDermott used a timeout afterward.
From that point, it seemed like the Rams were in control, winning 44-42, even though the Buffalo Bills scored on the next play.
During the broadcast, Tom Brady, who was part of the commentary team, didn’t criticize McDermott’s decision.
With Joe Brady, McDermott works closely as a colleague, offering support and praise for his coaching skills.
In contrast, McDermott’s interactions with Tom Brady have a competitive rivalry, especially during McDermott’s coaching battles against Brady’s Patriots.
