FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- After the Buffalo Bills 16-0 win Sunday over the New England Patriots, Bills coach Rex Ryan said he expected to win because Tom Brady was serving the final game of his four-game suspension.Its satisfying, but lets face it, they had a player out, Ryan said, referring to the Patriots quarterback. They had a player out, and we had our team, so we expected to win.The Bills (2-2) held rookie quarterback Jacoby Brissett to 17-of-27 passing for 205 yards and an 86.2 rating. Brissett (thumb) and Jimmy Garoppolo (shoulder) were listed as questionable on the Patriots final injury report, and the Patriots didnt announce their starter until Sunday. But Ryan repeated his statement from Wednesday that he knew in advance who would start for New England.My sources inside the New England Patriot building said that Jacoby Brissett would be the quarterback, Ryan said after Sundays game. How about that? Ill stir some stuff up. Who was it? Who was it? I dont know who it was.At Ryans news conference Wednesday, the Bills coach impersonated Bill Belichick, and as Ryan began his postgame news conference Sunday, he again imitated the style of the Patriots coach.

I told him, Hey, dont run through our DB drills. Can you run on the sideline? Its disrespectful and you can get somebody hurt, because DBs were backpedaling and stuff. And they decided to run through our DB drill again.Patriots president Jonathan Kraft commented on the fight minutes later to 98.5 The Sports Hub, saying, I think if you are less-than-disciplined in your personal approach, your team takes on the attitude of the coach. ... My guess is Rex [Ryan] probably loves that. ... Why Rex is Rex and Bill [Belichick] is Bill.In response to Krafts comments, Blanton said, We have a disciplined team. I think its clear today we also had the better team.However, Ryan agreed with Kraft, saying, I think so too. They probably werent as disciplined as they should be. I think thats probably what happened.Patriots tight end Martellus Bennett was not on the field during the altercation but would have intervened if he was nearby.I dont let that s--- happen. ... Thats who they are, he said after the game.ESPNs Mike Reiss contributed to this report. ' ' '
