McDermott concedes Watkins' big night 'hard to watch' for Bills fans

Sammy Watkins had one of his best games in recent memory Thursday night when he torched the San Francisco 49ers for six receptions, 106 yards, and two touchdowns.

It was his third game with the Los Angeles Rams, following an offseason trade from the Buffalo Bills.

Watkins left Buffalo seven months after the Bills hired Sean McDermott as their new head coach. Though he had a hand in sending the receiver to the West Coast, McDermott had nothing but kind words for him.

"I'm happy for him," he said at Friday's press conference, according to Joe Buscaglia of WKBW.

The coach may be fine with the trade's outcome, but Bills fans may not be, after witnessing what a healthy Watkins can do.

"That's hard to watch from a fan's perspective and, at times, from a coach's perspective," McDermott conceded.

Watkins' performance may hurt even more after the Bills struggled to score three points against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.
