While the Buffalo Bills fell short of reaching the Super Bowl after appearing in the AFC playoffs, head coach Sean McDermott is still confident his team can win the big game.

In an interview with The Athletic, McDermott told Tim Graham that it's not a matter if the Bills will win a Super Bowl, but a matter of when.

"It's not a matter of if, it's just a matter of when. That is the relentless pursuit," said McDermott via the Athletic.

McDermott took over as Buffalo's head coach in 2017, and has made them AFC contenders in almost every season since his arrival.
