The Bills averaged 19.6 points per game last season, which was 23rd in the NFL.
They averaged 16.8 in 2018, which was 30th.
And 17.9 in Sean McDermott's first season in 2017, which was 27th.
Through two games in 2020, the Bills are averaging 28.5, with 31 points vs. Miami and 27 vs. the Jets in the opener. The last time the Bills averaged more than 20 points per game for a season was 2016, when they averaged 24.9 in Rex Ryan's final year.
“I think some defensive head coaches take the approach of continuing to pad their side of the ball," McDermott said.
"And then, they like winning, 11-9, and having no hair, I guess," he continued, pulling off his cap to show his bald head.
"Whereas, for me, I don't like winning 11-9. I like winning. But I just feel like to have a good football team that can sustain success, you need to have a balanced football team.
"To build it, the way it’s being built, there still is a lot of work to go after only two games, so we remain humble and hungry. It's hard to win in this league. The defense hobbled in here, offense stepped it up when needed to. We showed explosiveness to answer when the Dolphins answered."
McDermott lauded his team for making the big plays when they were needed.
"It's good to see early in the year," he said. "There's a lot of football to be played made big plays at big moments in the game. That comes with a winning mentality.
