McDermott was hired as the 19th head coach in Buffalo Bills' history in January 2017. The team has made the playoffs in all but one of his six seasons, including an appearance in the AFC Championship game in the 2020 season.

In all, he has four career wins in the playoffs, second behind Hall of Fame coach Marv Levy (11) in team history. McDermott also trails Levy in playoff games coached (nine to Levy's 19).

He trails Levy and Lou Saban, the late father of Alabama head coach Nick Saban, in wins with 62.
