The Buffalo Bills were seemingly rebuilding for years until 2017 when they hired general manager Brandon Beane and head coach Sean McDermott.
In their first year together, Beane and McDermott led the Bills to their first playoff spot since 1999 — an 18-year playoff drought.
That playoff appearance was no fluke as the Bills also went to the playoffs in 2019 and 2020. Buffalo won the AFC East in 2020 for the first time since 1995.
On Sunday, the Bills — now one of the NFL’s model franchises — host the Washington Football Team in Week 3 action. It’s a reunion of sorts for McDermott and Beane, who will face their old mentor: Washington coach Ron Rivera.
This will be a stiff test for Washington, so we’ve chosen five Buffalo stars Washington fans must watch on Sunday.
