Buffalo Bills coach Sean McDermott sorry for referencing 9/11 hijackers in team meeting

• Buffalo coach apologizes for 9/11 reference in 2019 meeting
• McDermott did not dispute comments on airplane hijackers

An emotional Buffalo Bills coach Sean McDermott acknowledged regret on Thursday for crediting the 9/11 hijackers for their coordination during a team meeting four years ago.

McDermott had cited the hijackers while stressing the importance of communication. Upon realizing how his message was being interpreted, McDermott said he called a second team meeting an hour later to apologize to his players. And he planned to do so again with his current team on Thursday, after an article posted on the Substack page of NFL writer Tyler Dunne, citing numerous unnamed sources, revealed what McDermott had said at the meeting during training camp in 2019.
