Sean McDermott wasted no time getting the Bills prepared for their next challenge in the NFL PLayoffs
In most scenarios, teams that win take some time to celebrate, but the playoffs are a different animal. For Buffalo Bills' head coach Sean McDermott, there was no time to waste.

In most scenarios, teams that win take some time to celebrate, but the playoffs are a different animal. For Buffalo Bills' head coach Sean McDermott, there was no time to waste. Speaking with the media on Monday following the Bills' 31-7 Wild Card victory over the visiting Denver Broncos, McDermott made it clear that there was no time to waste.
The Ravens pose an incredibly challenging test, and McDermott apparently went back to his office following their victory, page already turned, to start preparing.
I don't blame him. The win over Denver is certainly great, and there's plenty about it to be pleased with, but knowing that the Bills have to have a rematch with the opponent that gave them the most trouble this year is enough to lose sleep over.
The Ravens have something that has given the league fits all year — adding Derrick Henry into a backfield shared by Lamar Jackson. The last time the two teams met, Henry rumbled for 199 rushing yards and a touchdown, and the Ravens cruised to a comfortable 35-10 win.
Few teams have been able to slow the Ravens down this season. Henry topped 100 rushing yards nine times the season on his way to a whopping 1,921 rushing yards, 16 rushing touchdowns, and an incredibly strong 5.91 yards per carry. Baltimore has won five games in a row by a combined score of 163-57. To put it bluntly, they're a problem.
Fortunately for Buffalo, they'll have three healthy stars on defense that they were missing in their past matchup, with Terrel Bernard, Matt Milano, and Taron Johnson all healthy and firing on all cylinders. McDermott and defensive coordinator Bobby Babich will have their hands full trying to come up with an answer to Baltimore's ridiculously challenging ground game.
