Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott is known for his no-nonsense, Belichick-esque approach to handling the media. Still, during a recent press conference, he delivered a response that was as cold as a Buffalo winter—and Bills Mafia is loving it.

When a reporter asked McDermott about how the Bills’ defense plans to stop Derrick Henry ahead of their divisional showdown with the Ravens on Sunday, McDermott didn’t flinch. His response? Ice cold and straight to the point.

McDermott’s deadpan response showcased a sharp wit that rarely surfaces in his otherwise measured pressers. While the full clip is already making its rounds on social media, one thing is clear—Bills Mafia has fully embraced their coach’s icy demeanor.

The team’s defense has been a hot topic heading into the game against MVP contender Lamar Jackson, but McDermott wasn’t about to let a misstep slide without making his mark.
