Buffalo Bills Coach Ken Dorsey Explains Last-Play Meltdown that Went Viral

Former NFL QB turned coach is explaining himself.

Ken Dorsey made headlines with a tablet-slamming explosive meltdown in the final moments of Buffalo’s 21-19 loss to the Miami Dolphins. A CBS camera captured the moment and broadcast it during the biggest matchup of the NFL weekend. If you haven’t seen the viral moment yet, you can watch Dorsey explode on his desk below:

Dorsey has vowed to do better. He also explained the source of his frustrations if the game’s final score didn’t make it obvious.

“It was a playoff atmosphere,” Dorsey told reporters, per the Buffalo News. “A lot of credit to the Miami Dolphins. Obviously, we weren’t on the winning end of it, so it’s frustrating and, you know, I reacted that way.

“Obviously, that’s something that I’m definitely going to learn from. I don’t ever want to take the passion out of the game. We’re all in this to win football games for, obviously, for the Bills, for our fans. We’re going to give them everything we got. But it’s something I’m going to learn from and make sure to correct moving forward.”

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott was asked if he saw the video of the incident:

“I’m fully aware of that video,” McDermott told reporters. “Ken and I talked about it, discussed it. …

“I think that says a lot about him as a coach and how hard he works at it and how important it is to him. But again, that said, it’s important that we as leaders keep our poise and that we model that to our players.”

Of course this incident is going to follow Dorsey wherever he goes. It’s not exactly as good as a crazy rant, but it definitely will be a moment no one is going to forget anytime soon.
