Rob Ryan understands why Rex is so emotional

BEREA, Ohio (AP) -Cleveland Browns defensive coordinator Rob Ryan understands why his brother is so emotional. It comes with the territory of being in the Ryan family.

Jets coach Rex Ryan cried in front of his team Monday morning following New York's 24-22 loss to Jacksonville on Sunday. He later poked fun at himself by showing up to a news conference with a box of tissues.

“He's a typical Ryan. He's going to come out swinging,” Rob Ryan says. “He's like me. We're having a pretty miserable year right here. We're just going to keep working 'til we get it right. That was one thing we were taught by our father.”

Their father, Buddy Ryan, was a longtime defensive coordinator in the NFL and head coach at Philadelphia and Arizona in the 1980s and '90s.
