Buffalo Bills coach Rex Ryan brought in one of his former players, a legend of the game, to give a pep talk to his team before it played the New England Patriots on Monday night.
That's not uncommon. But then the Bills inspirational speaker, Ray Lewis, was on the ESPN set the next night talking about the game. That's a little unusual, to say the least. He picked the Bills, a seven-point underdog, to win.
Lewis played under Ryan when the latter was a defensive assistant with the Baltimore Ravens. Ryan confirmed on Wednesday that Lewis did speak to the team though he didn't get into specifics of what Lewis said, according to ESPN.
