After their defeat to the Buffalo Bills, Kansas City Chiefs center Creed Humphrey sparked massive controversy by commenting on Buffalo Bills defensive end Michael Hoecht’s right Achilles tendon tear during the game, stating: “HE DESERVES IT.” This remark ignited a firestorm of debate across the NFL community, prompting Bills head coach Sean McDermott to step in and deliver a SHOCKING statement!
Buffalo Bills Coach Sean McDermott Blasts Chiefs’ Creed Humphrey: “Losing Is One Thing—Insulting and Cursing a Rival Is a Disgraceful Team”
In a stunning post-game escalation, Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott unleashed a scathing rebuke of Kansas City Chiefs center Creed Humphrey following the Chiefs’ 28-21 loss at Highmark Stadium on Sunday.
The controversy erupted after Humphrey, visibly frustrated on the sidelines, was caught on a hot mic saying of Bills defensive end Michael Hoecht—who suffered a season-ending Achilles tear in the fourth quarter—“He deserves it.”
Hoecht, who had just returned from a six-game PED suspension, collapsed in a non-contact play while rushing Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. He was carted off the field and later placed on injured reserve.
Speaking to reporters in a fiery press conference, McDermott did not hold back:
“You lose a football game—that happens. But to stand there and insult a man who just lost his season, to curse him like that? That’s not just classless. That’s a reflection of a disgraceful team with no character. We play hard, we play clean, and we respect the game. Apparently, some people don’t.”
The NFL world reacted instantly:
- ESPN analyst Ryan Clark: “This is beyond trash talk. You don’t wish injury on anyone—especially not on camera.”
- Bills QB Josh Allen: “Creed’s a good player, but that was low. We don’t operate like that in Buffalo.”
- Chiefs coach Andy Reid declined to comment directly but said, “We’ll handle it internally.”
Humphrey has since deleted his social media accounts amid a wave of backlash from fans and former players. The NFL is reportedly reviewing the incident for possible disciplinary action under its sportsmanship policy.
As the AFC playoff race heats up, this bitter exchange has added a new layer of venom to one of the league’s fiercest rivalries.
Buffalo improves to 6-2. Kansas City falls to 5-4.
