John Harbaugh tells Sean McDermott to ‘win the whole thing’ postgame
Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott topped a long-time friend on Saturday to advance to the AFC Championship game. Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh and him go way back.
The pair were on Andy Reid’s coaching staff prior to their current roles back in the day while the current Kansas City Chiefs coach was running the show with the Philadelphia Eagles. While Harbaugh naturally wanted to win, he was happy for his pal.
At the podium during his postgame pressure, Harbaugh said “congrats to the Bills” right away. But the true emotion can be found when the cameras aren’t on… or at least when guys don’t think they are.
After the game in the traditional sense, Harbaugh and McDermott shook hands at midfield. Hot mics caught Harbaugh telling McDermott to “go win the whole thing” after Buffalo’s 17-3 win.
Check out the exchange below:

Where the “whole thing” goes next we’re still unsure. On Sunday, the Chiefs host the Cleveland Browns in the other half of the AFC Divisional round. The winner of the game faces Buffalo for a spot in this year’s Super Bowl.
