Dennis Thurman, not Rex Ryan, called plays yesterday

When the Buffalo Bills took on the Arizona Cardinals yesterday, everyone knew that a new play-caller would be taking over on the offensive end. After the game, it was revealed that the same thing was true of the defensive side of the ball.

In his post game press conference, Coach Rex Ryan noted that Dennis Thurman was the man in charge of executing the plan on defense yesterday. He was sure to mention that it was a total team effort, noting that his brother Rob was responsible for the red zone coverages (Rob studied two years worth of Cardinals red zone plays, according to Rex via Matthew Fairburn).
