Buffalo Bills fire Ken Dorsey as offensive coordinator after ‘Monday Night Football’ loss

The Buffalo Bills made a drastic mid-season change to spark their disappointing offense.

The Bills fired offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey on Tuesday, less than 24 hours after a 24-22 loss to the Denver Broncos on “Monday Night Football” that dropped Buffalo to 5-5.

While Bills quarterback Josh Allen leads the NFL with 19 touchdown passes this season, he also has a league-worst 11 interceptions and 13 turnovers. Allen also tied for the NFL lead with 17 interceptions last season. He had two interceptions and a fumble in the loss to the Broncos, which featured four Bills turnovers in all.

Since Allen entered the league in 2018, no QB has recorded more turnovers (94) than the two-time Pro Bowl selection.

While the Bills rank seventh in yards per game (370.1) and eighth in points per game (26.2), the offense has not produced more than 25 points in its last six games, a streak in during which the team went 2-4.

Dorsey, who took over as the Bills’ offensive coordinator in 2022 after Brian Daboll was named coach of the New York Giants, was considered a potential head coaching candidate for the season. He interviewed for the Carolina Panthers coaching job this past offseason.

Joe Brady, who was passing game coordinator and wide receivers coach at LSU during Joe Burrow’s 2019 national title run, will take over as Buffalo’s interim offensive coordinator for the remainder of the season.

Brady was the Panthers’ offensive coordinator from 2020 to 2021.

This decision by the Bills comes five days before their next game, Sunday at home against the New York Jets. Buffalo lost Game 1 22-16 in the season opener on September 11.
