The Buffalo Bills’ firing of Sean McDermott today has apparently shaken up the NFL coaching carousel. In the hours since the Bills dismissed McDermott after nine seasons with the franchise, it has been reported that McDermott plans to continue coaching, that he could be a major player in multiple vacant openings, and now, that things could play out fast with McDermott officially on the market. “Several organizations want to move quickly on Sean McDermott, but timing is the obstacle,” The Athletic’s Dianna Russini posted on X, formerly Twitter. “A number of key decision-makers are tied up in in person meetings with other candidates today.” It’s not hard to see why NFL teams would be desperate to bring in McDermott as their next head coach. Of the six openings in the NFL, excluding the Bills, all but one hired a first-time head coach the last time they had a vacancy. For the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens, that worked out very well in the form of a Super Bowl win each, but for the others — the Arizona Cardinals, Cleveland Browns, and Miami Dolphins — their experiences varied but ultimately didn’t reach the same heights as Baltimore and Pittsburgh. Landing an experienced, incredibly successful head coach could be too alluring for any of those franchises, including the Steelers and Ravens, although McDermott’s playoff woes may be disqualifying, considering their similar complaints with their outgoing coaches. Unlike now-New York Giants head coach John Harbaugh and his old William & Mary teammate Mike Tomlin, McDermott doesn’t have a Super Bowl ring to point to when his playoff struggles are mentioned. And they sure were mentioned in the past few seasons, as the Bills continued to fall at the hands of Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs in the postseason. In four of Buffalo’s five trips to the playoffs from 2021 to 2025, the Chiefs defeated the Bills in either the divisional round or the AFC Championship Game. That fact likely made this year’s postseason exit even more painful, as Buffalo failed to reach the conference title game despite the Chiefs and the Cincinnati Bengals, who knocked Buffalo out in 2023, not even making the playoffs. Instead, the Denver Broncos delivered the knockout blow when Wil Lutz nailed a game-winning field goal, capitalizing on a controversial Josh Allen interception and Tre’Davious White being called for pass interference. McDermott finished his Bills tenure with the second-most wins and second-best win percentage in franchise history, behind Marv Levy and Lou Saban, respectively.

While there, he was named the Colorado Gatorade Football Player of the Year in his junior and senior seasons. Altogether, he finished with 5,724 rushing yards and 85 touchdowns. Initially, he committed to Oklahoma in 2022. In his first season, he redshirted and had 17 carries and 105 rushing yards.

The Seattle Seahawks are riding a wave of momentum following a crushing 41-6 victory over the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Divisional Round. Despite the blowout, much of the postseason focus remains on Sam Darnold, who managed an oblique injury during the contest. Darnold played a safe and efficient game, throwing for 124 yards and a touchdown without committing any turnovers. For a team that ranked near the bottom of the league in giveaways during the regular season, this error-free performance is seen as the vital ingredient for a deep playoff run. With a roster featuring an elite defense and an explosive receiving corps led by Jaxon Smith-Njigba, the path to a championship hinges on the quarterback’s ability to remain disciplined and avoid costly mistakes. Regarding the signal-caller’s health, Mike Macdonald was asked on Seattle Sports how Sam Darnold is feeling following the physical matchup. ”To my knowledge, he is good. Didn’t make it worse or anything,” Macdonald shared. This echoes what Sam said Saturday night, that the oblique is something they will have to keep managing, as noticed by Mike Dugar on X. This optimistic update suggests that while the injury requires ongoing attention, it likely won’t sideline him for the upcoming conference title game. The coaching staff appears confident that with proper management, Darnold can continue to lead the offense as they prepare for a hostile defensive challenge from their next opponent. The victory over San Francisco was also highlighted by a stellar performance from Kenneth Walker III, who earned a high-profile post-game recognition for his three-touchdown night. Following the game, Walker shared a lighthearted moment with Tom Brady, playfully referencing their college rivalry with a Go green quip. Walker’s 116 rushing yards provided the foundation for Seattle’s scoring, allowing the team to lean on its ground game and top-ranked defense to cruise through the second half. The combination of a healthy backfield and a safe-handed quarterback has the city of Seattle buzzing with championship expectations.

Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star Jalen Williams suffered a hamstring injury in a 122-120 loss to the Miami Heat and will miss Monday’s game against the Cleveland Cavs. Roughly six weeks removed from his season debut after two surgeries to repair torn ligaments in his right wrist, Williams strained his right hamstring — another setback for his 2025-26 campaign. The Thunder announced Williams’ diagnosis on its injury report ahead of Monday’s game against the Cavs. In his 24 games this season, the All-NBA forward is averaging 16.8 points, 5.6 assists, 4.8 rebounds, and 1.3 steals per game. The Heat snapped the Thunder’s five-game win streak on Saturday, as Oklahoma City will continue its four-game road trip in Cleveland for a matinee against the Cavs on Martin Luther King Day. Jalen Williams dealt another setback with hamstring injury Sam Navarro-Imagn Images While Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault didn’t confirm Jalen Williams’ hamstring injury, fans feared for the worst after watching the All-Star forward be helped off the court in the second quarter of Saturday’s loss to the Heat. Williams was finding his rhythm after missing the first 19 games of the season. Now, amid a strained right hamstring, Williams could miss the foreseeable future, as Daigneault retools his starting lineup, starting with a matinee against the Cavs. Williams joins Isaiah Hartenstein as one of the two starters sidelined by injuries, as Hartenstein is working his way back. The Thunder will conclude its four-game road trip against the Bucks on Thursday before returning home to host the Pacers at the Paycom Center on Friday.
