Buffalo Bills coach Sean McDermott is a big Philadelphia Union guy.
McDermott wore a Union shirt to his press conference on Wednesday in a show of support for the club and his brother Tim, who is the Union’s team president.
“Philly Union, baby. I’m pumping the Philly Union,” McDermott said.
“I just want to give a shout-out to those guys, my brother as well for the work they put in there. The best in the MLS and I think it’s been four years running now in terms of their win record and how many games they’ve won and sustained success and coach (Jim) Curtin getting named coach of the year.”
McDermott went on to compare the Union’s fans to the Bills’ legendary support.
“Their fanbase is very much like the Bills Mafia,” he said.

The Union will play in their first MLS Cup on Saturday when they face LAFC at Banc of California Stadium.
The Bills will be traveling on Saturday ahead of a game against the New York Jets on Sunday, but McDermott said he’d do all he could to catch MLS Cup.
“As soon as we get in, I know I’ve got a production meeting to do, but I’ll be trying to schedule that around the Union game,” McDermott said.
