AFC Notes: Sean McDermott, Milton Williams, Bills, Dolphins, Patriots

Bills

Bills HC Sean McDermott credited the defensive staff for a strong fourth-quarter performance that allowed the team to take the win over the Bucs.

โ€œOne, the players played better,โ€ McDermott said, via SI’s Albert Breer. โ€œAnd then two, we made some subtle adjustments, some tweaks to things. Sometimes itโ€™s hard to figure out exactly what needs to be adjusted. Coaches did a good job. [Coordinator] Bobby Babich and the defensive staff did a real good job, and the players executed.โ€

Dolphins

  • ESPN’s Todd McShay mentions two teams that could make a quarterback change in the offseason: the Cardinals and Dolphins, given their situations with Kyler Murray and Tua Tagovailoa.
  • ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler says there’s still a chance Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel turns things around enough to save his job. Fowler adds that one executive for another team pointed out that McDaniel’s resume as an offensive play-caller stacks up well against the projected pool of candidates this year. 

Patriots

Patriots DT Milton Williams suffered a high-ankle sprain in Week 11’s win over the Jets. When appearing on WEII Boston, Patriots CB Marcus Jones said losing Williams is a big hit to their defensive line. 

โ€œWe hate it for Milt, for sure. Heโ€™s one of the guys that affects the game every single down,” Jones said. “We want him to get healthy and everything, but I believe in the guys that are stepping up. We’ve had a lot of situations to where people have to stay up. Our d-line, I mean, those guys rotate and everything. Weโ€™ll try to hold it down for him.โ€
