On Sunday at Miami, Bills coach Sean McDermott will attempt to win his 100th career game, including playoffs. It's only his ninth season as a head coach.

Via NBC Sports research, McDermott can become only the sixth NFL head coach with 100 or more wins in his first nine seasons, including playoffs.

The others are George Seifert (116), Paul Brown (104), John Madden (103), Joe Gibbs (102), and Mike McCarthy (101).

Yes, McDermott has benefited from the playing of a 17th regular season game, which started in 2021. Regardless, he has 99 wins in nine seasons.

Overall, McDermott has a record of 92-47 in the regular season, and 7-7 in the playoffs.

And the playoffs are ultimately what matters for McDermott. The Bills likely will get their again in 2025. The challenge is to get past the Chiefs, and ultimately to get to the Super Bowl.

In a wide-open conference, Buffalo currently has as good of a chance as anyone.

The Seahawks have added a pair of wideouts to their roster for the second straight game.

Cody White's stay is set to be longer this time. He was elevated on a temporary basis last week, but was signed to the 53-man roster this week.

Dareke Young was placed on injured reserve in a corresponding move. Young was ruled out along with Jake Bobo on Sunday. Tory Horton is listed as doubtful and Cooper Kupp is listed as questionable, so the Seahawks also elevated Ricky White for the second game in a row.

Cody White had a 60-yard touchdown catch last Sunday night. He played 36 offensive snaps and Ricky White played seven while also seeing time on special teams.

The Seahawks also placed defensive tackle Jarran Reed on injured reserve, signed defensive tackle Quinton Bohanna off the practice squad and elevated linebacker Patrick O'Connell for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Three weeks ago, Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair was flagged for unnecessary roughness but wasn’t fined. Last week, Al-Shaair wasn't flagged for a hit on a defenseless player. He was, however, fined for it.

The league announced on Saturday that Al-Shaair will pay $17,389 for a hit on a defenseless player. it happened in the fourth quarter of the Week 9 loss to the Broncos, when Al-Shaair hit running back J.K. Dobbins after he caught a pass for a loss of two yards.

Last December, the league suspended Al-Shaair for three games after he hit Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence in the head with a forearm while Lawrence was sliding. Al-Shaair had a history of 13 violations and seven fines since 2020.

This is Al-Shaair's third fine since his suspension. He drew a $20,555 fine for illegal use of his helmet during a playoff win over the Chargers. Al-Shaair also was fined $17,39 for a blatant (but unflagged) blow to the head of Titans quarterback Cam Ward in Week 4.
