Key Matchup

Sean McVay vs. Sean McDermott

When thinking about key matchups, it usually involves the players on the field but the key matchup in the Buffalo Bills game against the Los Angeles Rams is between two people who will not play a single snap.

The key matchup in this game will be a battle of wits between Sean McVay, who is one of the best offensive minds in the game, and Sean McDermott, who is one of the best defensive minds in the game.

The similarities between the two coaches go beyond their first names. Both coaches became head coaches for their respective franchises in 2017, both have records over .500 and both coaches were able to get their team to the playoffs two of their first three years.

The matchup between McVay and McDermott is going to be really interesting to watch because of their areas of expertise and it will be a battle of strengths.
