Buffalo Bills coach Sean McDermott expressed full confidence in offensive coordinator Joe Brady following Sunday\'s 30-10 loss to the Miami Dolphins, affirming his commitment to Brady for the remainder of the season. The Bills were held scoreless through three quarters in their worst offensive performance of the year.
McDermott was asked directly if he remained committed to Brady as offensive coordinator and replied affirmatively. The question came after the New York Giants fired coach Brian Daboll, Buffalo\'s former offensive coordinator during Josh Allen\'s first four seasons.
\"Joe\'s a good coach. He really is. We\'ve got a really good offensive staff,\" McDermott said. \"It\'s how you respond to them and I\'m fully confident in our offensive staff, and Joe as our leader, that we will make the adjustments we need to make and move us forward.\"
The Bills offense produced three turnovers against the Dolphins, including an interception and fumble by Allen. Buffalo went scoreless through three quarters for only the third time since Allen was drafted in 2018.
Allen averaged 3.53 seconds time to throw, his longest since Week 15 of 2018, according to NextGen Stats. The Dolphins generated 17 team pressures and three sacks despite averaging 3.45 seconds to pressure, the longest against a quarterback pressured more than 10 times this season.
Brady acknowledged Monday he would have thrown the ball more early in the game. The Bills gained just 23 rushing yards on eight carries compared to Allen\'s 9-of-15 passing for 73 yards in the first half while going 0-for-6 on third down.
When asked if he would consider reaching out to Daboll about returning to Buffalo, McDermott dismissed the possibility.
\"Brian\'s a great coach. Unfortunate to see that happen to him,\" McDermott said. \"At this point, that\'s not under any type of consideration.\"
