FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) – Rex Ryan has tweaked Tom Brady while praising Peyton Manning.
The New York Jets coach says Thursday that “nobody” studies like Manning, the Indianapolis Colts quarterback whom Ryan’s team faces in a first-round playoff matchup Saturday. Ryan says Brady, the New England Patriots quarterback, “thinks he does” study as much as Manning, but gets more help from his coach, Bill Belichick.
If the Jets (11-5) beat the Colts (10-6), they would next play Brady, Belichick and the Patriots (14-2) next Sunday at Foxborough, Mass. Ryan’s zinger would certainly add to an already tense rivalry.
As for Manning, Ryan says he’s one of the smartest quarterbacks to play the game and there’s “no one else like this guy in the league.”
