New York (AFP) - Rex Ryan made his homecoming a victorious one Thursday as the Buffalo Bills roared to a 19-point second half lead, then held on to beat his former New York Jets 22-17.
Ryan became head coach of the Jets in 2009 and led them to two AFC Championship games before being fired at the end of the 2014 NFL season.
Ryan had played down his return to the Jet's MetLife Stadium heading into Thursday's contest, but afterwards he opened up about his feelings.
