The Buffalo Bills fired coach Sean McDermott on Monday, according to reports from ESPN and The Athletic.
NBC News has not independently confirmed the reports and the team did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
McDermott led the Bills for nine seasons without ever reaching the Super Bowl. The Denver Broncos defeated the Bills 33-30 in overtime Saturday in the divisional round of the NFL playoffs.
The loss was the latest in a series of devastatingly close defeats in recent seasons for a franchise that has a long history of heartbreak. Including Saturday’s loss, four of the Bills’ last five playoff losses have come in one-score games, including two in overtime. The combined margin of defeat in those four losses is only 15 points.
In recent seasons, the Bills and MVP quarterback Josh Allen have been tormented by the Kansas City Chiefs and their quarterback, Patrick Mahomes.
