The Buffalo Bills' loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars was made even that much more difficult with the loss to All-Pro LB Matt Milano early in the contest. The cart needed to be brought out for him and he was immediately declared out while being put in a cast.

Milano wasn't the only defensive stud that was ruled out as DaQuan Jones suffered a pec injury and wouldn't return to the contest. Two of the Bills' best defensive players both ruled out of the contest.

Speaking to the media after the game, the entire Bills team shared the same sentiment, they were worried for their brothers and were praying that everything would be okay. Bills safety Jordan Poyer said he had gotten news about Milano's injury and it wasn't good.

McDermott opened up on the slew of injuries and the subpar play across the board in their loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in London. A somber interview just moments after crushing defeat.

Sean McDermott began, "Credit to the Jacksonville Jaguars. They came out and made the plays they needed to make. Obviously, we came up on the short end here.

Speaking directly on Milano and Jones' injury, McDermott provided a crushing update, "Injury update for you, Matt Milano, it's a knee and lower leg injury. I know it's not looking good right now but I don't know any details beyond that at this point. DaQuan Jones, it's pec injury and also not looking good at this point but I'll know more in a little bit here."

On the issues at hand, McDermott provided a blunt response as to why the team struggled, "I mean when you look at it you have to start the game faster… Four punts in a row I believe. We got to get started faster. Just the overall, getting the ball back to the offense… Offense sustaining a drive, penalties, too many times shooting ourselves in the foot… All in all, not good enough."

Circling back to the loss of Milano early in the contest, "It was a setback for us. We were confident in Dorian (Williams) who went out there and then T Dot (Tyrel Dodson) was out there as well. I applaud those guys… Not getting a lot of reps during the week but going out there early in the game and having to perform."

With the Bills traveling back, we will continue to provide updates on Milano and Jones' injuries. A brutal loss made even worse with a string of devastating injuries.
