The Bills had nothing to gain today. Win or lose, they were going to continue their long sabbatical from the postseason. However, Rex Ryan's old team was playing for a playoffs spot. That was a good enough reason for the Bills to play their best football.
Ryan coached a defense that forced Ryan Fitzpatrick to throw three interceptions, including the one on the final drive that clinched the Bills' 22-17 victory. The Steelers easily beat the Browns 28-12. So, Pittsburgh is in the playoffs. The Jets, despite having their best season since 2010, are out.
Ryan began the season by welcoming Geno Smith jaw-breaker IK Enemkpali to the Bills. He ends it by crushing the Jets' playoff hopes. Ryan is a legend.
