Though Rex Ryan says he wants to downplay facing the New York Jets for the first time since they fired him after last season, he couldn't help but draw at least some attention his way.
All that ultimately matters to Ryan's Buffalo Bills and the Jets, however, is trying to build on their respective much-needed victories in Thursday night's matchup at the Meadowlands.
After Buffalo (4-4) avoided a third straight defeat with Sunday's 33-17 win over Miami, Ryan offered the token "It's just another game" line in regard to this contest. Then Monday, he said linebacker IK Enemkpali will be one of the Bills captains for this matchup.
